Three goals that might assist me in becoming more effective
in my professional role and help me navigate early childhood systems and/or
engage in public policies that impact young children and their families are;
Add a certification in early intervention or
mental health to my toolkit.
The early care system is becoming more
interconnected to support the whole child.
As a trainer it will be beneficial to learn more about the health
component that is supporting ECE today.
Becoming more involved in my affiliations.
Rather than just be a subscribed member of
NAEYC and other organizations become more involved. To include possible leadership or even just
becoming more interactive with special groups within the organizations, such as
diversity groups.
Advocate for updated regulations and policies
within my work place.
Many of the regulations are outdated. Being an advocate for change through by
writing about best practices and current research in the organization newsletter
can bring awareness across the company’s programs, to include Headquarter.

ReplyDeleteIt's a huge challenge to take our practice to the next step by becoming an advocate and thinking about the bigger picture. That is one of the objectives of this course, I think, to help us see what needs to be done on a bigger stage than our classrooms.... I'll email you your blog rubric. Thanks for this, Kimberly.

Thank you Dr. Anderson for your comment. I realize that it is important to speak out for change. Children and families depend on us to provide the best possible care and support we can offer. I have been using the newsletter for the past two years. They keep asking me to write more articles. Hopefully it will gain the attention needed.
