Week 4 blog assignment


I chose National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), Early Childhood Education of British Columbia (ECEBC), and United Nations Children’s Fund Canada (UNICEF Canada). NAEYC has so many useful resources for helping teachers in developing their knowledge and skills by providing research, conferences, and journals/articles. I have found the website to b e useful to my capstone project. I chose ECEBC because I would like to work as an early childhood educator in british columbia when I go back to Canada, and this website provides updated information in the child policies, resources and job opportunities in BC. British Columbia is a multicultural province and the website also supports teachers in helping children recognize cultural diversity, so it would be very helpful for my capstone project as well. UNICEF Canada would give me wider perception when I look at early childhood education, and I’d like to learn more information about children from different countries.

I would like to work as an early childhood educator in various preschool settings with different age groups of children, so that I gain enough experiences as working as a teacher. I would also like to work as an administrator so that I learn to manage the school setting, including financial piece, human resourcing, professional development support, parent/family conferences and so on. After having leadership skills, experiences towards working with children, families, and different teachers, I would want to open my own center and have my own business.
