From
the beginning of my early childhood studies program, I have heard about NAEYC
none stop. In one of my courses in undergrad we were asked to become members on
the NAEYC website. “The National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC) is a professional membership organization that works to
promote high-quality early learning for all young children, birth through age
8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and research” (www.naeyc.org). This is a place that I would
love to work at. Mostly every childcare cent is NAEYC accredited. There are no
current open positions that appeal to on the NAEYC website. But I would love to
be an inspector for them. I do not know the requirements for an inspector, but I
know that you go around to the different centers and make sure that they in in compliance
with NAEYC rules.
Another nation organization that I have learned about is T.E.A.C.H
.” The T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® National Center develops, implements and
sustains programs and strategies that result in a well-educated, fairly
compensated and stable early childhood workforce to ensure the long term
success of our nation’s children in school and in life”(teachecnationalcenter.org). This
organization help teachers better themselves. They are not hiring but if every
they were, I would love to be a trainer for educators.
Last but not least NEA is An organization that I will
work for.” Our mission is to advocate for education professionals and to unite
our members and the nation to fulfill the promise of public education to
prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world” (www.nea.org). A position that I will
consider taking at this organization is an organizational specialist.
