Issues and Trends

Part I. Establishing Professional Contacts-

So far,I have been networking with the early chilhood professional I know to find and establish contacts from outside of the U.S. My attempts have been unsuccessful. Therefore, I then went to the NAEYC website to find contacts from other areas. I have sent e-mails out to the selected areas and people listed on the website. I am waiting for a response. If this fails, my next alternative will be to select the alternate assignment for establishing contacts.

Part II. Expanding Resources-

I chose http://www.zerotothree.org/ as one of my main resources. I chose this site because of the newsletters that are published to the website as well as the ones they send out to your e-mail or home for free. I like this website because they have a lot of information for professionals and parents. I also love to read their articles.

Vicki's MSECE said...: Thank you for posting about www.zerotothree.org. I had never visited that website but I found their information and newsletters to be interesting. I liked reading a few articles about the younger children because it gives me a better understanding of my 4-year old students.; March 5, 2011 at 8:16 PM

Personal Childhood Web

My Top 5 Influential People:

Paulette White (Mom):

My mother has been the rock of my family. My mother showed me how to be strong no matter what. It is because of my mother's passion for teaching children that I am in this field. My mother's favorite quote is "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". I always think back to that verse when I feel like I'm overwhelmed.

Arthur White (Step-Dad):

My stepdad came into my life at the age of 15. Since then, he has been a wonderful father figure for me. My biological father passed away when I was 8 years old. He has been wonderful to me throughout my trying teenage years. I can always count on him to be there for me.

Inez Jones (Grandmother):

My granny is the best. My grandmother is a true woman of God. I remember my granny watching me before and after school. When ever I didn't feel good, my grandmother would first pray for me, then make up old remedies to help me get better. She is a shining star and reflection of God's blessings. My granny is 90 years old and still caring for our family.

Jakki Goins (sister-in-law):

My sister in law helped to shape me as well. She gives great advice. Our relationship has always been separate from her marriage to my brother. I think that's what I love about her. She always keeps it real.

The Late Bishop James R. Jones (pastor):

My pastor was a very strong man. He was a true man of God. He would always talk to the young boys and girls in our church. My pastor had a passion for children. He would take the children in our church on trips all around the world. His passion was so great for children that he opened a christian school. In the school, some people contributed whatever funds they could. For the most part, many of the parents couldn't afford to pay so our pastor kept the school running with his own earnings. He was a true example of what a man of God should be and he is missed daily. I will always love him!!
