Job/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

This week I learned that there are many international organizations committed to advocating for young children and their families. I was especially drawn to companies and agencies that promote issues on education equality. Below are three companies and a few employment opportunities I located.

Educational International

Educational International represents organizations of teachers and other education employees across the globe. They also promote the principle that quality education, funded publicly should be available to every student in every country. They believe in representing the interests of teachers and other education employees on the international level. They advocate for equity in our society.

Adding Educational International to my community of practice would give me an opportunity to draw from the experience of those (members of the organization) already fighting for the rights of young children.

I did not find any employment opportunities on their website at this time.

NAFSA: Association of International Educators
