Establishing Professional Contacts
Trying to contact correspondence with the provided resources was sure a challenge! I, like some of my colleagues, used social media as an alternative to contacting others around the world. Through facebook, I found an old friend from college that teaches in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and is willing to participate in this journey with me! I must say after hours of searching I am grateful for her willingness to help and her co-workers as well.
Expanding Resources
The organizations that I have chosen to subscribe to are NAEYC and NBCDI (National Black Child Development Institiute). I chose these two because NAEYC has contributed some great articles to the research I have put into assignments for this program. NBCDI is an organization that I am just getting familiar with and most of my students are black and many of the issues and trends of today affect black children. I thought it would be an appropriate organization and applicable to my classroom now. The also have a facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nbcdi
Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteLearning more about the demographics of the children you teach will benefit the children and you. Working with diverse populations requires us to gather additional information that offers an authentic insight into their world.
I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Alyssa, I think NAEYC and NBCDI are great organization. My classroom are more dieverse but all the student can benefit from a great organization.
