Exploring Roles in the ECE Community


Exploring Roles in the ECE Community
1)   I want to chose “Teaching for change”(building social justice Starting in the classroom. Provides teachers and parents with the tools to create schools where students learn to read, write and change the world, build a more equitable, multicultural society , and become active global citizens.
2)    I think NAEYC, is an organization that  want the best for the well being of each children Thinking in their needs. NAEYC, is the worlds largest organization working on behalf of young children.
NAEYC MISSION: is to serve and act on behalf of the needs, rights and well being of all young children with primary focus on the provision of education and developmental services and resources.
     NAEYC expresses its mission in terms of three broad goals:
  • Improving professional practice and working conditions in early childhood education.
  • Supporting early childhood programs by working to achieve a high-quality system of early childhood education.
  •    Building a high-performing, inclusive organization of groups and individuals who are committed to promoting excellence in early childhood education for all young children
  • Convening individuals and groups with diverse perspectives to generate new knowledge and understanding of issues affecting the education and development of young children and their families.
3)   NICHCY, National dissemination center for children with disabilities, has provided information and resource disabilities in children and youth.
This organization is important for me because if I want to work with Anti-Bias and diversity, we also need to have the support of and organization that helps children with disabilities and their parents.
ISM. THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF MINESSOTA


I find a very interesting school in Minessota,  the name is International School of Minessota, is a multicultural school ,”Our students thrive in an inclusive, collaborating learning environment where they are challenged to grow in intellect character, and global understanding as they prepared to impact the larger world” Teaching students with a rich opportunity to appreciate commonalities while they celebrate their differences.
In pre-school students receive daily instructions  world languages taught by native speakers. “Our curriculum has been carefully designed to educated students with diverse cultural backgrounds.” They want children to respect, and accept their differences to later succeed in life.
If I need to work in, I will love to work in this school because ,and I could be an Spanish teacher because is my native language, I also like the idea to work with an Anti-bias curriculum, and the importance for children to be proud of who they are, with all their differences.
I know I will live temporarily  in USA , for the work of my husband, so for this reason my interest is in learn, have the knowledge and the necessary skills to support and work with children in my Country Ecuador, advocated for them and try to give to them the best I can for their different needs, and well-being. I’m a passion teacher and the only thing that I want is to work with pre-school children.
TO TEACH
To teach is to share who you are, to impact the knowledge of all that has informed you with a passion that inspires the disinterested heart to listen, and the reluctant will to learn,
To teach
Is to nurture the growing spirits, to foster insight that perceives the rhythms of life and couples the preparations of the inner self to endure with dignity the adversity that wisely trains our souls.  Brian Johnson

  1. Maria, I am interested in knowing more about NICHCY because of my work on meeting the challenge of early detection of learning disabilities. Most times children with learning disabilities are over looked because it is not as obvious as physical disabilities, but they all need equal attention and I feel expanding our knowledge by learning from organizations like NICHCY will help us a s professional make an impact in our field.

  3. Maria,
    I enjoyed reading your post and can understand the excitement you would have to get to work at the international school of Minnesota. Have you every volunteered in the school or did some substitute teaching there? That would be a wonderful experience for you, especially since you speak a different language. Melissa

  4. Hi Maria,
    I too enjoyed reading your post and learning about the different organizations you posted. The only one I was familiar with was the NAEYC. I enjoy how much you want to work with an anti-bias curriculum. Working at the international school can give you experience to possibly start a similar international school in Ecuador.

  5. Hi Maria,

    Teaching children to have the basic fundamental to learn is a very powerful tool, to show them how to change the world. All children need to learn about diverse cultures and be more excepting of others. Our job teaching children to understand this, will help to change the world. Keep up the good work.

  6. Dear Maria

    I really enjoyed reading your post especiall the organization you chose Teaching for Change. I have never herd of that organization before and I like the principle it stands for. Teaching children reading, writing while still providing diversity. In my area Africann American children if not started early for them in these areas these children are left behind because our schools are different now. Kindergarten is like first grade and second is like third grade and so on. I see so many children failing because they can not read or comprehend what they are reading. School is teaching test test test instead of teaching so children can remember and apply it later in life.

    Thank you for your post

  7. Hello María,
    Thank you for mentioning the International School of Minnesota (ISM)! Perusing this organization’s web pages, it was interesting to learn that Sabis Educational Systems helps students from Hispanic or Latino backgrounds to thrive in academics. (Sabis, 2014)
    What is the social status of children and their families enrolled in ISM and how many families can benefit from their financial aid program?
