Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

The first international organization that interest me is the Inclusive Education Network.  This organization has a worldwide campaign called “Education for All (EFA),” a movement that is a global commitment to provide quality basic education for all children, youth, and adults.  The job that interests me is the principal position.  I am interested in this position because I want to be a leader in the early childhood field, especially when it comes to providing all children and families with an education.  Although there are no qualifications and/or requirements listed for this position, it is imperative that an individual who functions in this capacity has to be able to know the curriculum, know teaching methods and know learning strategies that work for diverse learners so that he or she recognizes the needs of students who are receiving special education services (Inclusive Education Network, 2018, p. 1).  I would think that a four-year degree from an accredited university or college as well as a number of years of experience is needed to fulfill this position.
The second organization that is interesting to me is the Association For Childhood Education International (ACEI).  This organization believes that “every child should have access to a quality education which prepares him or her to become a responsible and engaged citizen” (Association For Childhood Education International, 2018, p. 1).  The job opportunity that is interesting to me is the Early Learning Center Director position.  This position captured my attention because I want to own a daycare center one day, and I want to ensure that all children are reaching their maximum development while they are participating in my high-quality educational programs at a minimal cost.  The requirements and/or qualifications to fill this position are: candidates should have one year of experience of childcare and management, and they should have a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college.
The third organization I chose is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).  The priorities of this organization are to assist with: (1) Education and development of young children; (2) family support, and (3) educating parents and training educators (UNESCO, 2018, p. 1). The position that interests me is the program specialist opening in the Social and Human Services division.  I am interested in this position because I want to be more hands-on when supporting families and children through education and through their development to improve their lives.  The education that is needed for this position is a Master’s degree in the social and human services field, political science field, or another related field of study.  Candidates must have at least seven years of experience working in the social and human services field at the national and/or the international level.  Skills include: excellent oral and written communication skills, the ability to fundraise, and the ability to establish relationships with other organizations, companies, and stakeholders.

Professional Goals, Hopes and Dreams

One of the new insights that I gained in relation to international early childhood education that relate to my professional goals is to be a leader in my community, for I want to own a daycare center.  That way, all children would be able to receive an education.  According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (2011), “The Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2011 noted that 7.3 million primary school-aged children in Pakistan were out-of-school in 2008 (UNESCO, 2011), the majority of whom were girls” (cited in Mahmud, 2014, p. 6).  Unfortunately, it can be implied that in Pakistan, many children are not obtaining the knowledge they need to move forward in their education.  If I had my own daycare center, I would make sure that every child in my community would receive some type of schooling so that they are not lacking the foundation necessary to aide in their development.  While I plan to take the initiative as a leade...

Final Blog Assignment

There are many outcomes that I gleaned from learning about the early childhood field from an international perspective.  For instance, according to Hale (2014), there are three consequences that early childhood practitioners learn about how the field is enduring overseas.  She writes, The first consequence of learning about the international early childhood field is that as early childhood educators, we live in a world that calls for continuous change, and therefore, information on best practices and best policies can be utilized throughout the world.  The second consequence of learning about the international childhood field is that having an awareness has to be developed.  When early childhood practitioners are unaware of their students, the students’ families, and of themselves, then the opportunity for discussion and growth cannot be established so that all parties understand the willingness to be invested in children’s development and children’s education....

Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC code: I-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training. This code is significant to my professional life because field of early childhood education, the best practices and information utilized to educate young children continues to change.  I have been in the early childhood education profession for almost 20 years, and because my professional goal is to own a daycare center, I have to stay informed of the changes in practices and techniques needed in the early childhood so I can provide young children with the education they need to progress in their academic journey. NAEYC code: I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.  This ideal is important to my professional life because as an early childhood education professional, teachers must be able to recognize that   each child is unique and different. When working ...
