Over the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to
learn about the international early childhood field. There is so much
information about what goes on in other countries. The first consequence I saw
from my experiences is the limited ability to try and remain or even develop
contact with other professionals internationally. Second consequence would be
understanding the differences in the way our educational systems are designed
and ran. The third consequence would be comparing what we do to what someone
else does and thinking this may work best for us without fully understanding
why it’s being done that way. We have to ensure that if something needs to be changed
or done a certain way, it is done so based on the needs of the children and
their families.
My goal is to continue to work on developing contact
with an international contact. I believe this is a great opportunity that will
help my growth and development as a professional in the early childhood field.
Hi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI too was quite disappointed when I did not receive a response from the international professional I tried to contact. It was very informative researching the different sites. At the same time speaking to someone with specific questions and getting their ideas on different subjects can be answered is a plus.Gaining a new friend is always wonderful.. Good luck in continually trying to make a contact.
