Through out this course I have been able to learn much more about the early childhood field and how other countries are helping in field as well. I was not able to make an international contact The podcasts and reading my colleagues blogs has afforded me a wealth of information to be shared with my coworkers.Many countries are struggling with low salaries for those in the the EC field,standards and quality programs.
The three consequences of international learning is global awareness because sometime every country think they know more than the other when the reality is we all can really learn from each other. In this course I learned that all countries have the same problems as the united states, but we have one thing in common and that's the love of the early childhood education. Over the past eight weeks I have learned that it is important to make contact and learn what what other are doing in the field. You can learn so much from the culture demographics of other countries. The next consequence of international learning is cultural diversity, the pod casts allowed see how other professional in the field share their thoughts about the field. Learning about other countries cultures offers me the chance to learn about reading the articles and browsing through the websites when was so informational. The third consequence of international learning is building partnerships
The final consequence of learning about international early
childhood programs is building partnerships with global contacts. Throughout
the course, I was not able to establish a contact with a global contact. I
learned so much from reading others blogs which was very beneficial to learning
about other countries and the developments in the early childhood field in other
countries. Building partnerships is very essential to any job within
the early childhood field which is valuable in helping us create classrooms with
global awareness with respect with cultural
diversity. When we build partnerships with contacts from other countries
we are able to gain and share information along with ideas that can help us all. One goal I have for this field is for more international contact be made
with local programs to share insights and thoughts in the field. Lastly I would like to say, To Dr. Giordiana, class and group colleagues, I have learned so much from each of you!
Thank you for your inspiring post. Indeed we can and should learn from each other when it comes to what is best of children and education.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the international contacts have given us a wider lens through which to view early childhood education. The more we are aware of other cultures, the more we are able to be sensitive to their needs and address them by providing resources, understanding and care.
It is also comforting to realize that people from other countries struggle with the same issues that we do. Listening to how they deal with them can give us ideas about making improvements in our own system.
Best of luck as you continue on your journey towards your master's degree. I hope our paths will cross again so that we can continue to learn from each other.
Thanks so much for sharing your insight with us during this class. I think that you have posted some amazing work during this class and I have enjoyed reading your thoughts and insight. I really like the way you compared the international issues with ours here. You are so right. We have so much in common with other countries. What I really enjoyed that you said is that our love for children is the same regardless of the country. That is so true, while there are some countries that only allow children of a certain economic status to attend school, I don't think it's because they do not love the children, I think it is just the norm in their area and they don't know any better. I wish you he best of luck in your studies.
