The organization that I choose was NAEYC which stands for The National Association for the Education of Young Children which was founded in 1926. This organization is the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children with nearly 80,000 members, a national network of more than 300 state and local affiliates, and a growing global alliance of like-minded organizations.NAEYC works to raise the quality of early childhood programs and to continue building the Association as a high-performing organization, strengthened by diversity and inclusion.
I chose to explore the article "Good Guidance" Teachers and Families. This article is about a parent who moved to a new area and how she prides in being able to form partnerships with teachers in regard to her child's specific needs.This article relates to this weeks topics because it demonstrates how important it is for teachers to assist families with easy transitions into schools. This article influences educators to prepare for changes in demographics and be open to whatever culture they may encounter. The way that the parent expressed her gratitude in this article was simply amazing. As educators, we don't just impact children we impact families as well.
Below is the link for the article mentioned above.

Hello Angela,
ReplyDeleteNAEYC is an excellent website not only for educators but for parents and organizations as well. I decided to pick this website because my center will be going through accreditation in the next two years so I am getting a little ahead.
The article that you chose goes well will the topics of discussion this week. It is imperative that teachers understand that we are here for not only the children but for their parents as well. Believe it or not, parents look for their children to be in an environment that is as close to home as possible. Parents want to know that their children are being loved.
Can you recall what Boutte explained as being the definition of love from the perspective of education from the assigned reading this week? Please check it out. That is my new motto for loving children.
