My School Counselor's Office

I want my office to have enough space to move around and to be comfortable in with many colors. Also, students will have the opportunity to see different cultures and families on my boards.

Time Well Spent

Wow!! This has been one amazing course, and I am glad it has come to an end. I have gained much knowledge throughout this course that will take me to new heights. This course has make me realized that there is a need for more dedicated and sincere early childhood professionals to advocate for young children and their families.

One of the deep felt learning experiences from this program is to continue to communicate and collaborate when working with young children and their families. When there are open channels of communication, the job of teaching in an anti-bias classroom setting will be more rewarding. Because, I think young children learns best when there good communication between teachers and families. Everyone should work together for the success of all young children.

Another deep felt learning experience I gained through this program was learning about the different type of leaders. In any business or organization, leaders should be trustworthy, open-minded and have the necessary skills to be a communicator on a daily basis in order to provide their followers with personal incentive to do their best work. Professionals in the early childhood field are leaders that teach young children how to become leaders in life as they grow and develop.

My last learning experience is learning how to help end homelessness in my community. I will continue to research and search for programs to help young children and their families that come across my past to find affordable housing. Every child deserves to feel stress free when in an anti-bias classroom setting. All of the learning and knowledge I have named and more will stay with me throughout my teaching experiences.

One of my long-term goals in the Early Childhood Education is to be honest, respectful, show passion, and listen carefully and to be mindful when teaching in an anti-bias classroom environment. When working with families, and staff members, communication is the key to the well-being of young children and their success.


To all of my colleagues,

Thanks for being so supportive throughout this course. Your posts on the discussion board and your blog taught me a great deal, and I learned through your post and blog about you, you, and you. I am happy for all of us and hope each of us finds the job of our desire. This is my personal email address if anyone want to stay in contact with me; bellcabbil@gmail.com. Good luck and take care!!


Dr. Darragh,

You are a wonderful instructor. I was so tensed up about my capstone project until I got the running head mixed up with the heading. I can laugh about it now, but when I was reading it was not so funny. Also, thanks for the feedback and comments; they both helped me to understand the course reading more. Again Thanks!!

Blog Assignment: Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

I have chosen three international organizations that work for positive social change for young children and families: United Nations, Children Funds (UNICEF) is offering a job opportunity position in a Child Protection Specialist. The requirement is eight years of experience in humanitarian work, and to speak two languages. Another job offer was a Consultancy Assignment. This job will give you the opportunity to travel around the world supporting programs for young children early development. This job requires a three year experience at the national or international level and is good for a person who wants to travel.

The Second organization is Save the Children. There is a position open for an Early Head Start teacher with an AA degree or higher. Another position opening is the Director of Program Quality. This program is in London England, and is required to have a Master’s degree in the early childhood or social science field. These jobs can better serve young children, and protect their rights in the early childhood environment. These jobs also require experience on the national or international level.

The third organization is Academy for Educational Development: A position I found on this site is a Teacher Exchange Program. This program will help teachers to connect and communicate with teachers from around the world. Working in this position, professionals can share their experiences and knowledge to build a network of inspiration to other. There are other countries involved with this program, but through building a network, it will enhance others to participate. A Master’s degree is required.

After reading through the different research, I realize in many organizations, there are more than one spoken languages. In order to work on the international level, I would need more that a Master’s degree. The work is very inspiring, but I would need to learn different languages and have to experience working with different culture of people in the early childhood field in order to be success in my work.

Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

I have chosen three organizations that I believe will change the lives of all young children.

United Nations, Children Funds (UNICEF) is an organization that fights for the well-being of young children and those that are in emergency crises. This organization is an advocate for all young children and believes in giving all individuals the opportunity to succeed with fair and just. This organization puts young children first and protects them from many situations that may come upon them. Young children are encouraged and supported in their development as well as disabilities, diseases, disasters, and how to overcome obstacles in their lives (UNICEF, 2011). If I can work with an organization that is funding young children in an emergency situation, it would be an honor for me. Supporting and engaging in a funding organization can help me to support children from diseases. In order to work with this organization, I would need a Master’s degree.

The Second organization is Save the Children. Young children worldwide deserve an opportunity to grow and develop in a safe learning environment. In any given situation, a child’s needs should always come first. SC is a group of people who are committed to helping children to strive in life. In the US, SC is an advocate for supporting young children with learning skills that they need in order to be successful early in life. This job will give me the chance to help young children in every domain. There is a position open for an Early Head Start teacher with an AA degree or higher.

The third organization is the Technical Assistance Coordinators for The Early Childhood Community of Practice-Connecting Circles of Care. These professionals and group members’ support and help with funding, implementing, developing, and designing the communities with a system that cares. They communicate and collaborate on conference calls with communities and other groups across the system of care to share concerns and to encourage problem solving (Keenan, 2014). The requirement for this job is a Bachelor degree in the field of social services.

Job/Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

Working in the Early Childhood Field is important to me. Each child should have the same learning opportunity as they grow and develop in life. Many childcare programs can be very expense in cost. The local and state organizations that appealed to me are the council for National Association for the Education of Young Children, Exceptional Children, and Division for Early Childhood. The reason I choose the three because I would like to work with organizations that are dedicated to helping and treating all young children with fair and just. Having the opportunity to aide young children in getting developmental appropriate programs is an accomplishment educators should be very proud off.

After doing resource, on the local and state organizations, there are job opportunities available in council that might be of interest to me. The Council for NAEYC Accreditation qualified and dedicated to promoting early childhood high quality programs (ECE, 2011). The Council for Professional Recognition promotes and improves performance of professionals in the early childhood education, and to ensure that all early childhood educators and caregivers meet the developmental, emotional, and educational needs of all young children (ECE, 2011). “Council for Exceptional Children is the largest international professional organization dedicated to improve the educational success of young children with disabilities and/or gifts and talents. CEC advocates for appropriate governmental policies, sets professional standards, provides professional development, advocates for individuals with exceptionalities, and helps professionals obtain conditions and resources necessary for effective professional practice” (ECE, 2011). Lastly, The Division for Early Childhood (ECE, 2011) is an international membership organization for those who work with or on behalf of young children with disabilities and other special needs. The goal is to promote policies, and practices to support the best development of young children with special needs.

These jobs require a Bachelor’s degree and three to five years of experiences in the early childhood field before getting hired. I believe I am quality to do the work, but I have not worked in the early childhood field as of yet. Also, I believe I will enjoy working with either one of the company. Working with the companies will give me the opportunity to provide all young children with the best learning materials through high quality programs. Through the leadership of these programs, the outlook on early childhood education can be very rewarding for all young children.

Exploring Roles in the Early Childhood Community

The local and state organizations that appealed to me are the council for National Association for the Education of Young Children, Professional Recognition, Exceptional Children, and Division for Early Childhood. The reason I choose the four because I would like to work with an organization that dedicated for helping young children with varying abilities in the early childhood field. Just a few months ago, I talked to the academic advisor at Walden University about courses I can take to work with companies that are advocates for young children and families. Starting in June, I will be working toward a Doctoral degree that will allow me to be an advocate in aiding young children in getting developmental appropriate programs.
