For this week, I am supposed to further explore the Head
Start website, although I really don’t see the point. The information is pretty
basic, and doesn’t really change all that much from week to week. The biggest
items are the upcoming 50th anniversary, requests for money, and
celebrating those organizations which give them money. In fact, of the six main
headings, four of them deal mainly in the financial end. Yes, I include
conferences under financial, because they are quite costly and make money for
Head Start. This is not to say that I don’t believe in the Head Start Program,
it’s just reporting on what I am actually reading.
Part of the assignment was to find new information which
adds to my understanding of equity and excellence in early childhood education,
as well as new trends or issues. Again, the information doesn’t really change
all that much, so there aren’t any new revelations. They do have links to
several studies, but the results are all pretty much what we already know:
early childhood education is vital to children’s development, high quality
programs give children the best chance to succeed, and so on.
Sorry, but I really just can’t find anything new or
Earth-shattering to report upon.
Thanks for sharing what you did find. I know for me, it's been a struggle trying to get information of some of the organizations that I initially emailed and subscribed to but, I just decided to look at an organization and I was aware of and shared some info on.
ReplyDeleteI too have been over and over the website. I have subscribe twice to the newsletter and have not received it as of yet. The site I am reviewing also has a conference which happens to be this weekend. Thanks for sharing what you have share thus far. This has been a difficult assignment for myself as well. Good Luck
ReplyDeleteWell, I am glad to know that I am not the only one who has had trouble with this assignment!
ReplyDeleteThats why I switched websites because after looking at page one there wasn't much to research. All wanted you to pay to read the journal articles! The site I subscribed to I am also not getting the monday emails that stated they deliver. I signed up for the Harvard website and have only received one. Guess its lack of enrollment for their sites! HA HA
