Jobs in the ECE Community: Internationally


Image result for teach for all
Teach For All appealed to me because this organization believes that all children have a right to "an education that meets their diverse needs, advocates who challenge the injustices they face, services that support their healthy development, and tools to navigate the world they will inherit" (Teach For All, n.d.). Teach For All works in many countries around the world developing leadership to support improvements for children's education opportunities.

There is an opportunity in South Africa and Asia for a director of leadership development. This position requires candidates to possess a local work authorization. The candidate needs to have experience in a leadership development and working well with diverse groups of stakeholders in a global capacity. Plus, the director needs to be innovative and can turn ideas into reality.

Save the Children is an organization which is committed to giving children the best chance at the future they deserve. This organization helps children both nationally and globally to ensure they receive opportunities to develop and grow.

There are no current job opportunities which are of interest to; however, there are opportunities to be an advocate for children and to participate in fundraising efforts which do pique my interests.

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
