The biggest consequences of learning about the international
early childhood field for my professional and personal development is that I
now understand that there are no borders for early education in the world. We
can learn from each other and help each other. I think, of course, personal
connections with early education professionals around the world are beneficial but
interactions between governments should be more active so that national level
revision of systems and supports for developing countries are encouraged.
A third consequence is that I understand that the early
childhood field in the world is changing.
The connections between countries are tighter and research corroborated by
early educators in different countries is not rare now. So, it is our job to
keep up with the changes by visiting the websites we found during the blog assignments.
I agree that we need to support developing countries more in their education efforts. We will need to remember cultural differences as we go along though. Good Luck in your future classes.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is important for us to develop professional relationships with educators in other countries. It allows for ideas and experiences to be shared and with this hopefully helping better a child's learning experience. Supporting other countries in the education and care of children is very important because the children are our future. Children do not create the situation that they are living in but with the proper support and education hopefully as educators we can help them better their situations for themselves and the children who come after them.
