This week I reached out to other professionals in the early childhood field. From a list given in the Issues and Trends course, I chose to contact a professional from Ireland as well as Spain. I chose these countries simply based on personal interest. In my email to both individuals, I gave a brief description of who I am and why I was contacting them. While I have not yet received further communication from these professionals, I am hopeful that I will connect with them soon.
I also chose to subscribe to the e-newsletter with the Zero to Three organization. I have heard that the organiztion has some of the most recent research and is also a great resource of information. In the past I have read some articles published by through the organization and I am eager to learn more about what they can offer me as a professional. I have copied the link to the Zero to Three organization for everyone to take a quick look yourselves.

Hi Terri, Ireland is a great choice. I chose to email professionals in Africa. I have yet to receive responses to my email as well. I hope we both have the opportunity to make contact so that we can share information.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri,
ReplyDeleteI really find Zero to Three informative.In my opinion it provides cutting edge information about infants and toddlers. I have found it very helpful.
I too hope that you get replies back from the educators you emailed. I am excited to see what you learn from them throughout the course. Zero to Three is a great resource. I have read a few articles from their website in previous classes and they always have very helpful information.
ReplyDeleteI have a contact in Ireland as well. I know I have sent an email to my contact. She is a very busy person. I am hoping to hear from her very soon. There is some unique issues and trend in Ireland. I have collaborated for about ten years with this person and the organisation there.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri! I'm glad that you've made cntact with Early Childhood professionals. Another one of our colleagues used Facebook to reach out to others. This may be helpful as well.
