Hello Colleagues,
I chose to register as a member with NAEYC. I have always wanted to get envolved with their organization, but I have procrastinated. I will reccieve two publications: Young Children and Teaching Young Children English. I was really excited about the resources available to members.
I chose Africa( The National Early Childhood Development Alliance) and Asia( Pacific Early Childhood Education Research Association) as the two professional contacts from other countries. I may be changing the two contacts I chose, if I do not have success with contacting them. I attempted to email both programs, but the emails did not tranfere successfully. If anyone has any suggestions or advice I would love to hear it.
Hey Magretta, I love being a member of NAEYC. The publications alone are worth the price of membership and you will get a discount on books you order from them. Glad we are in the same group again. Hope all is well with you. Good Luck in the course!
ReplyDeleteThe NAEYC is an excellent organization. I just learned about this organization just this September during my first class. It has a host of resoucres and information that can assist EC professionals. I will also join the NAEYC. Thank you for your post.
ReplyDeleteMagretta,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you know this or not but Walden gives a discount on tuition for NAEYC members. You might want to check it out. I have been a member for 2 years and am planning on going to the national conference in San Francisco in June. It will be my first national conference and I'm very excited about it.
I haven't had any luck with my overseas contacts yet, either, so I don't have any useful information. I am thinking I may have to choose the alternate assignment. I'm going to wait a few more days and then decide. The countries you chose sound interesting. I hope they work out for you. I will be interested to read about what you learn from them.
