Professional Goals……(Week 7)

(Alternative Assignment)

v     Knowledgeable….

   Early Childhood Development in the Asia-Pacific region -----I’ve learned a Regional Conference on Early Childhood Development (ECD) was held to discuss the importance of early childhood learning experiences for children under age of 3 years; an age group often neglected in a region where the focus tends to be on pre-school and primary school years. 


I would have loved to attend this conference to learn new techniques to use in an Early Head Start program (0-3).





v     Advocate…..

 Regional Seminar on Early Childhood Policy Review: “Sharing and Learning from the Policy Review Process-Big gap between public/private provisions (mostly, better quality in private programs with trained teachers, teacher-learning materials, and better facilities).


It was interesting to learn that other countries have the same problem we have in  the US. This has encouraged me to advocate even more for equally quality programs.



v     Leadership….

The Participation Programme functions as a vital complement to UNESCO’s regular activities by analyzing, evaluating and facilitating the implementation of national, sub-regional, inter-regional and regional projects directly related to the activities of the organization.
 

I could be an active member of the organization where I could make a different in a leadership role.

  2. Hey Andrea,

    Its seems that you gained much information from this website. The Early Head Start conferences are very benificial because they focus on children ages 0-3 years old. I really enjoyed reading your post!
