What is
going on in the world of ECE ?
This week we are to explore three international organizations
for early childhood education.
I found one from the resourced provided in content of
the course work
Vision:
FHI 360 envisions a world in which all individuals and
communities have the opportunity to reach their highest potential.
MISSION
To improve lives in lasting ways by advancing
integrated, locally driven solutions for human development.
I was interested in this organization because of the emphasis
on women and children. They have many
components to focus on including disability, nutrition, family and community
and education. They work globally and
here in the U. S. These are all things I
would be interested in supporting. While
I did not find any positions I am interested in or qualified for I will still
follow the progress it makes with the projects here in the U. S. and across the
world.
The other two organizations I will be following are:
Montessori Education for Autism. Located in Blackheath UK I was able to visit
this program in 2011 and have been associated with it ever since. I want to have the opportunity to go back and
take the post graduate course soon. There are no job openings as of now. To work in the UK takes jumping through many
hoops and I believe I have a calling to Montessori Education here in the United
States.
Montessori Foundation is a global entity involving
training and support for Montessori schools all over the world. They offer classes in building schools,
community, family involvement and teacher training. The part of this organization I am interested
in is the Montessori Leadership Institute.
This is the training course on developing a world class Montessori school.
Again no positions open at this time but
my goal is to develop a school here in Ohio I do think the course work here
will be beneficial.
Old Adage:
Give a woman a fish
Feed her for a day
Teach a woman to fish
Feed her and her family for a lifetime.
Thanks for dropping by.
Peace and all good
Linda,
ReplyDeleteThe Montessori Education for Autism sounds like a wonderful program. I love how the Montessori programs helps children learn with hands on concept. This is a great way to teach children with learning disabilities. Good post.
