Sharing Web Resources




Both websites I chose has valuable information related to early childhood education. The outside links on the ACEI website are very informative and offer all types of information within their region and across the globe. I research an area of the website entitled advocating education for all and discovered that ACEI has endorsed a letter to the United States House of Representatives asking for their support for education for all.  The letter signed by over 40 national and international organizations dedicated to advancing education, health, food security, democracy and governance, economic growth, peace, security, and human rights around the world was written as part of the Global Campaign for Education – U.S. Advocacy Day initiative. The Education for All Act is designed to build upon current U.S. efforts to ensure universal access to quality education for all children, and to develop a comprehensive global education strategy that addresses key barriers to education access. It also includes a provision that the U.S. engage with international education initiatives, such as the Global Partnership for Education, in order to help further these goals, and work with countries to strengthen systems that lead to sustainability.

The website does contain information that adds to my understanding of equity and excellence in early care and education. The letter to the House of Representatives asking for support for education for all is evident of this. They also have other links within the website that contain information related to equity and excellence.

Exploring the website this week, I understand how important it can be to collaborate with other countries on issues related to early childhood issues. By doing so, we open up opportunities to children and their families that can richly enhance the educational experience. We also gain knowledge and understanding that can help us increase equity and excellence in the early childhood field.
