Well, since I never did hear back from my international requests, I will have to rely on the posts of others and webpages I have explored.
By taking a look at ECE around the world, I discovered that:
1. Sadly, funding for ECE is a major issue for many countries around the world.
2. The importance of ECE is recognized in most nations worldwide.
3. ECE educators worldwide are feeling some of the frustrations experienced here in the USA.
One goal for this field would be for educators to take advantage of the ease of communication. Today, you can talk to just about anyone, anywhere. Teachers should be utilizing this to work together for the betterment of education worldwide.
I wish my classmates well on the next leg of their journey.....
When looking at other colleagues post and analyzing our situations in there is a lot of similarities. As educators we have increased standards that are required with out the means to complete them. Children are faced with standardized testing at very young ages. Play is being taken out the classrooms.
