“In early childhood you may lay the foundation of poverty or riches, industry of idleness, good or evil, by the habits to which you train your children. Teach them right habits then, and their future life is safe.”

The consequences in learning about the international early childhood field were:
1. No matter where children live some are affected with the passive approaches towards early childhood services, practices and education.
2. How so many countries also need to convince politicians, policy-makers, and other educational officials of the importance of early childhood education.
3. Along with the United States better strategies in communication, lobbying, and advocacy are needed, together with a better information base related to systematic monitoring efforts.
Goal: By continued research and comparing notes with others has brought and continue to bring a mutual understanding and trust in working towards finding a common ground in the early childhood field. Building partnerships both globally and nationally is an valuable source for creating an awareness that the recipe for children's success is to start as early as possible.
How does the role of culture in learning change during early childhood?
Ivelisse, thanks for sharing all of your posts with me this semester. I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. I appreciate your consequences and your goal. We are all on the same road together, Education is our passion, and working with children and families is our mission. Thanks for sharing and I hope to communicate with you in this next class.
ReplyDeleteIvelisse, I am just expressing sincere thanks to you, for your contributions to the field of early childhood education. Indeed, it was a pleasure working with all my colleagues, regardless to knowing them personally or not. One thing I want us to do, is to try and attract more males to the workforce of early childhood, because it has been dominated by females.
ReplyDeleteAll the best in future courses.

Your first consequence describing "approaches towards early childhood services, practices and education" as passive was very well said. Thanks for that insight!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck in your future course work!

Those are a great list of consequences of what we have learned these past 8 weeks. I am amazed at how these classes fly by in 8 weeks! We are half way there! Can you believe it? I too, believe child advocacy needs to increase to help improve our field. These children are our future so we must do everything we can to help them reach their potential! =) I have enjoyed networking with all of our colleagues! Thank you for sharing what you have learned!
