Exploring Roles in the ECE Community

     When exploring various organizations who want to do right by children and families, these three organizations were in the top for me. I appreciate what each stands for and how they all focus on providing children the opportunity to attend  high quality programs. In addition, they provide educators with information on how to best support children and families in their care.

     There are a couple of job opportunities available at NAEYC and Child360; however, the openings are in another state or cities that are not close to where I live. Having to relocate is unfortunately not an option for me at this moment. If I were to choose an opening that piques my interest, it would be to work at Child360 as a quality ratings specialist or as a family advocate. Both of these jobs would entail me to have effective communication skills, knowledge of correct English grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and have strong problem-solving skills. In addition, education in a related field and experience is required.

When I Think of Research...

When I was thinking of a research topic for my simulation, I figured I would choose one that I was experiencing and/or had experienced at some point during my teaching career. This is why the topic of childhood illness piqued my interest. I have had the opportunity to work with children who had been diagnosed with a childhood illness such as Type 1 diabetes and leukemia. I have watched them interact among their peers when they are feeling "healthy." Plus I have observed them after they received a treatment and/or were feeling "low."  I think that my simulation is important to the early childhood field because it could help teachers and parents better support children diagnosed with a childhood illness and help them facilitate children's peer interactions and/or relationships. I know that I could have benefited from similar research findings to help me and my coworkers work more efficiently and effectively with the children in our care.  My simulation can

It is hard to believe that it has been this long, yet I find it pretty rewarding to work with such a diverse group of children, families and coworkers. My hope is that I can continue doing what I am doing for a lot longer and to learn new ideas from the children and their families. I enjoy being with “my children” because they keep me on my toes and teach me new things almost every day, especially since they are all unique individuals. One goal I would like to set is that everyone in the early childhood field would treat all children and families with respect. I understand that this may be difficult to accomplish since we have conscious and unconscious biases towards our own and other groups. However, if we all make a conscious effort to
