Unfortunately I never recieved responses from any of the international contacts I tried to make earlier in the course. I viewed Harvard's Global Children's Initiative website and was very interested in the organization. I really like how they addressed not only that early childhood is an investment, but they look to it as a moral obligation to serve young children and to ensure thier quality of care and education. I also really like how they work collaboratively with those from other disciplines to make sure they are meeting thier goals in the most effective and creative ways. Finally, I really liked that they don't focus solely on one area of development in children. They look at the whole child, health, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical developments.

Robin,
ReplyDeleteI really like how the website looked at the whole child as well. Each child is different and therfore I liked that they didn't focus soley on development too. I found this website to be full of information.
Hi Robin,
ReplyDeleteI found the research they listed very helpful in reviewing equity processes. The website had very supportive topics for early childhood educators. I also liked how they collaborated from professionals from other disciplines to prove their points.
