This week I have sent emails to quite a few organizations to try to connect to an early childhood professional in Israel and in Romania. I have yet to receive a reply so I do not know if have to use the alternative project or not. I picked Israel because I hope to one day visit and maybe live there and am interested in their education system. I chose Romania because I am interested their early childhood programs post Ceausescu. I hope to receive some replies soon. Has anyone been able to connect to another professional?
The website I chose is the International Step by Step Associations website. I am a member of DEC and NAEYC and would like to learn more about what is happening globally in the early childhood field internationally. As our classrooms are becoming more diverse, I want to become more diverse in my own studies. I feel this could help me understand some of the foundations my children might have. I have sent an email to subscribe to their monthly electronic newsletter. I am looking forward to receiving this newsletter. I also hope that I can reach out to other childhood professionals through this website.
Like you I am still waiting for a response from my international contacts. I hope they respond because I would like to know about what is happening in their neck of the woods. It will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have had the same issues with receiving a response from the international contacts. It's also very interesting that you want to live there as well. That's pretty cool. I hope that we all can get a response soon. great post
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteI have found international contacts. I did a google search on Early Childhood Preshcool, and looked for an actual pre school. I found a private run school in Africa, and emailed the director.
I hope you find a contact! The information would be amazing!
