I have contacted Australia and Germany. I chose Australia because it is a country I have always wanted to learn more about. I selected Germany because of an experience I had as a little girl. My father sponsored a man from Germany when I was about 5 years old and he stayed with us in our home for a few weeks. I was very intrigued by his presence in my home and I wanted to learn more. I am interested to see how these contacts expand my knowledge in the Early Childhood field outside of the US.
For expanding my resources I chose to work with the Zero to Three website. This is a website that I have used in the past but I hope to dive deeper into the knowledge they provide. I have four children of my own and I feel this website will not only encourage my further knowledge for my educational field but also for my own personal use as well. You can never have too many resources or enough education when it comes to children. The world around us is constantly changing, evolving and so our practices should be doing so as well. As an educator it is my job to keep up with the changing world and learn new tools for implementing proper practices.
Hello Samantha I enjoyed reading your post on your success on your professional contacts. I am still trying to make connections. I also joined the Zero to Three resource. There is a lot of valuable information on the website I plan on exploring the site more to see what resource are accessible to me and hopes that I can share with co-workers and parents.
