I contacted two different countries to see if they could help me with our upcoming assignments. I made contacts in Greece and the Philippines. i have always been fascinated by both cultures and wanted to learn more about their education systems. As of right now I have not heard back from either one. This is the email I sent:
My name is Monique V. Wilson. I am a Masters Degree student at Walden University studying Early Childhood Studies with a concentration in Leadership, Administration and Management. I am interested in making some international contacts in the early childhood field. I would greatly appreciate if you could offer some assistance in this area. Please let me know if there is anyone in your department or yourself, that would be able to help me in the next few weeks by answering questions about how early childhood education works in your country.
In choosing a website to study for this class I had a hard time deciding between Harlem Children Zone, Zero to Three: National Center for Infants Toddlers and Families, and NAEYC: The National Association for the Education of Young Children. All three websites offer some great information for early childhood professionals. I can see myself utilizing them all in the future.
Hi Monique.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone from Greece or the Philippines gets back to you soon. Those are certainly interesting countries to get some information from.
I too found it difficult to pick which website to research. They are all so helpful that I wish I could use them all.
Monique,
ReplyDeleteGood luck in hearing back from the contact that you made. Your email sounds very professional. I too selected to study the website Zero to Three more closely. I really like the comprehensive information included on the site. There appears to be many variable resources that may help us as we continue pursuing our masters. NAEYC is also a fantastic website. I have used it several times in writing papers as well as for training my staff.
Hello Monique,
ReplyDeleteI also had a hard time selecting a website to use for this class. I decided to use the Zero to Three website. I know it will really come in handy with the families I assist in the Infants and Toddlers program. I hope your contacts email you back. It is very exciting communicating with early childhood professionals in different countries. I am hoping my contacts email me. I am looking forward to building a relationship with the early childhood professionals in the different countries and visiting each other countries to collaborate even more. I look forward to reading your blog to see how the communication with the early childhood professionals in the different countries is going.
