 Thank you to all my colleagues in the class for sharing your knowledge and experience. It has been a wonderful journey and I have learned so much this semester. I look forward to our paths crossing again in the very near future. Thank you Dr. Shepard for all your support and guidance.

Consequences of learning about the international early childhood field

1.    I have learned that no matter where you are in the world Early Childhood Educators face the same major challenges and obstacles when it comes to children and early childhood education. 

2.    The initial years of a child's life are a critical developmental period. Approximately half of the world’s children will miss an opportunity to participate in early childhood programs that help them develop the necessary skills that they need to be successful in life.

3. Education can make a significant and long-lasting difference on the lives of children who experience poverty.

 

 Goals related to International awareness of issue and trends and the spirit of  collegial  relationships

Many global organizations support the education, development, and well-being of children.    I have made it  one of my goals to stay abreast of all the changes in early childhood education around the world and to make new connections internationally through these organizations. We are all in this fight together to help children around the world overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. I hope to form contact with others who will advocate for the right of all children worldwide to receive an early childhood education. .
