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.
