Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Level

The National Association of Bilingual Education http://www.nabe.org/ 

The National Association for Bilingual Education is an
 organization that represents both the English language
 learners and the Bilingual Educational Professionals.  

 

NABA  has an amazing Career Center where anyone from an applicant  to an employer can find a job.  I searched and found one that I found very interesting it is a position for an  Adjunct Associate in English as a Second Language :Columbia University American Language Program. I do not at the moment present all the qualification that this position entail, but I do want to continue being an educator especially at a higher level. That is a goal I am hoping to reach.

The NAECS-SDE was founded in 1972 by early childhood specialists who wanted to make sure that the voices of children and their families were heard.  This organization makes sure that state leaders listen and understand the necessity of programs through research and committees. To be a part of this organization one can be a member and communicate with other members online, by phone and convene once a month. I found this group interesting because what a wonderful way to learn what other states are doing for early childhood and their families.



Founded in 1969 the Inner City Fund  and primary focus was to  finance inner-city businesses. Later their vision spread to and provide services that can protect and improve the quality of life. ICF International work with policymakers to help implement program from early childhood to 12th grade.
  A position that sounds so promising that I saw posted was for a Head Start Early Childhood Education Manager. Basically an ECE Manager provides  mentoring and coaching to the other ECE specialists. As I read through the description, I found myself getting excited realizing that the qualifications that I have thus far I can contribute to this organization if they would consider me.
