Insights.....
As I was exploring the international website, I’ve learned the
well-being of children and family is the focus. Also, some of the concerns and
issues are the same one we have in the U.S. For example, in Nigeria, there is a
project, which looked at people’s understanding of “effective collaboration,”
is the development of a guide on effective parent-school collaboration (ECDVU,
2005). In the US, you can find several
studies on how to build partnership with parents and the school.
Noteworthy....
What was a great add to the website was the different
publication on early childhood in Africa. I was able to find an article dealing
with, strengthening Africa’s contributions to child development research. With
the variety of dated publication, it gives a good understand of child
development.

Hi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed exploring the website, as it took me to lots of different aspects of research. It was good to see how other countries are working toward the same early childhood goals that we want. Building positive relationships with the famillies is a great step in the education of young children. Great post.
