Part 1, Establishing Professional Contacts
I sent out over a dozen email requests in an attempt to find an early childhood professional working in another country, but so far have had no luck in getting a response from anyone. Since I do not personally know anyone working in the field of early childhood in another country, I used several of the organizations and persons listed in the blog resource list. I also used the participant list from the International Infant and Toddler Conference that I attended since there were several participants and presenters from outside of the United States there. If I do not hear from anyone soon, I will choose to do the alternative assignment. I have started to explore the World Forum Foundation Radio website and listed to one podcast. While I am disappointed that I may need to choose the alternative assignment, t seems that this options will also be interesting.
Part 2, Expanding Resources
I plan to explore the National Institute for Early Education Research website. I have signed up to receive the National Institute for Early Education Research newsletter. I received the newsletters in the past and always found them to be interesting. The main reason that I chose this website is that it focuses on research. I believe that research plays such a significant role in informing and guiding all practice in the field of early childhood. I try to stay informed about the latest research and I hope that exploring this website will offer opportunities to have access to information that I can use in this class, future classes and in my work.
