I emailed a representative for UNICEF in Brazil, Sarah Klaus with the International Step by Step Association in the Netherlands and Mrs. Eva Hammes-DiBernado with the German National Committee for Early Childhood Education. The email address for Sarah Klaus does not work and I have not heard back from any yet, so I may have to move to the alternate assignment. I will still try to connect with others because I was very excited about discussing issues and trends in other countries.
I chose to to study the NAEYC because this is an organization that I would like to join. I want to learn more about their mission and involvement in the early childhood field. I did sign up for their newsletter.
I would love to get any tips from those that have been able to connect with professionals in other countries.
Hi Jennie,
ReplyDeleteI use the NAEYC website very often. I find it has a wealth of information and is typically user friendly. I think you will find it beneficial. I have been thinking about joining the organization as well. I am also interested in attending one of their conferences.
I wish you well with your endeavors with contacting professionals overseas. I look forward to what you share as we go through this course.
