In our assignment this week, we are asked to identify
individuals that are in the early childhood field and are located outside of
the United States. I decided to contact someone in Germany, Ireland, and
Canada. I chose Germany because I have been working closely with a parent
volunteer that is from Germany and I am curious to learn more about their early
childhood field. I also contacted one from Ireland due to the fact that my
heritage is Irish and I was interested in their culture. I chose to contact
someone from Canada because I have heard that Canadian schools have advancement
on the states. This is also why I chose to study a Canadian website that is
equivalent to our NAEYC. I am curious to see what their philosophies and views
of early childhood are.
Tisha, It is great that you have decided on contacting early childhood professionals from three different countries. Having a connection with a parent volunteer is a great personal connection to Germany. When talking about personal heritages, my family originated in Germany, so I am looking forward to your future posts!
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to reading your post from your Canadian contact. I had no idea that they had advancement on us. I can't wait to see what some of their thoughts will be on some of our upcoming topics.
ReplyDeleteHi Tisha,
ReplyDeleteI chose to review Canada also, for me is because I have friends there and I would visit regularly when I lived in Michigan. Also I love Canada, so I am interested to learn more about their child care system. I never knew that they're considered to have an advancement on the states in education.
