International Contact:  What I’ve
learned
Through this course I have had the opportunity to talk with
an early childhood professional in Yap. 
Talking with Ashley has made me realize just how fortunate we are here
in the United States.  We have so many
resources available to us.  It has also
been a great example of how important it is to teach from the cultural context
that the children live in.  Ashley
attributes her success to this sensitivity and also to her ability to be
resourceful.  In speaking with her we
have encouraged each other and reminded ourselves of why we do what we do.  Collaboration is very necessary for growth
and mental health!
My Goal:
In attempts to find multiple international contacts I was
able to start following several blogs from international teaching professionals.  I have really enjoyed the post.  My goal is to continue seeking out new perspective’s
and possible ideas for bettering early childhood education.  Continuing to pursue international contacts
is part of that! 
Lori,
ReplyDeleteHello. That's great that you were able to communicate with an international contact. I didn't have an luck and no one else in my group did either.

Lori, Thank you for sharing what you have learned with your internationals contacts. I have learned a lot from you in this course, believe it or not. By just reading your blogs, I have gotten a sense of what Yap is. Your goal is great. We should always look for improvement and make sure every child is getting the best education and experience possible! Thanks again for sharing through out the last eight weeks!
