Early Childhood in Australia

The current international research topics that I found were entitled: working together in early childhood settings, Thinking in the context of the EYLF, Articulating early childhood and building confident learning. Some exciting new facts that I learned from exploring this website was what type of organization Early Childhood Australia is and what they advocate for. It is similar to our early childhood organizations in the United States. The mission statement of their organization is to ensure quality, social justice and equity in all issues relating to the education and care of children from birth to eight years. I also found great news archives from the media release section of the website, entitled children deserve bipartism support for quality early education and care. Noteworthy information that captured my interest was the partners that Early Childhood Australia works with such as the government, opposition parties and departments. They also partner with early childhood professionals, parents, grandparents, other carers of young children and various lobby groups.

Research Topic

If I were to conduct a small research topic, it would be the difference in academic achievement with parent involvement. During my short period of teaching, I was able to identify what a difference it makes when a parent is involved in their child's education. If this research can be presented to families consistently, I believe it would make a huge difference.

Research: Defining a topic

Defining research has truly been a task for me. I must say it is quite interesting to find out out how important it is and to define quality research. The topic that I have chosen to research is to define what a it takes to construct a quality early childhood education program that promotes excellence and that will establish a secure place for early childhood education. I choose this topic because upon entering my first year of teaching there has been treats of diminishing pre-k in the public schools. I believe the early years are the most important and should be established everywhere. Early education makes so much of a difference in the later years. There has been so many negative images painted regarding early childhood education. I would like to define what it takes in all aspects to develop a quality program that promotes excellence. Conducting research on this topic should be a strenuous task because it is so broad. I am willing and ready to accomplish this task. If there is any additional information that any of my colleagues would like to offer to make this task smoother , I am open to any suggestions. Thanks for reading!
