The website that I have been
researching is The National Association for the Education of Young Children. The
section of the website that interests me the most is the section regarding
professional development opportunities. In this section there is a list of training
opportunities, annual conference information and other accreditation and training
opportunities. This information is relevant to me as I am constantly looking
for ways to better my teaching skills and stay abreast of current issues in
Early Childhood Education.
A portion of the website is entitled,
Effective Advocacy Resources. There is information pertaining to how members of
the community can support the field of ECE through voting and lobbying. Politics
play a large part in how child care centers are funded and how they are
regulated. Citizens should understand that they have the ability to change
policies through being an active member of society.
A new insight that I gained
through my website research is how much information can be obtained through
this website. I have spent hours scrolling through the NAEYC website and each
time I see something that I did not see before.
