Three consequences of Learning
Consequence 1
During the current course of Issues and Trends in
the Early Childhood Field (EDUC – 6162), I went to a wonderful website that
researched Early Child Education for most of the countries. This is the
website of the 'Center on International Education Benchmarking' (https://ncee.org/what-we-do/center-on-international-education-benchmarking/about-us/)
Dr. Sharon Lynn Kagan gave an overview of research findings at the groundbreaking international study of early childhood education systems. Some of the facts expressed in this overview were astonishing. I am sharing a few with you:

Policy and Co-Director of the National Center for Children and Families
at the University of Columbia.
ECE of the USA is not in
this table. ECE of the Netherland, Finland, and South Korea are ranking high.
USA Early Childhood Education ranks 22nd
in Quality.
The USA ranks 21st in its
expenses on Pre-Primary Education.

Global Fund for Children was another website that
keeps us updated on young children's problems and education. Education

The Aga Khan Network (AKDN) takes us to the far-off
area of the world where this network helps young children in poverty and educates
them for the future.

As schools open, the Aga Khan Foundation and the Aga Khan Education Services have curated a list of practical tips and activities to support students' relationships, well-being, and learning during COVID-19.
My Professional Goal
I will keep myself attached to the above websites and other international websites to keep me abreast of the Early Childhood Education world over. My professional goal is to learn about the best practices in ECE in different countries.
Tasneem, I noticed we selected one of the same articles. I think that the US should explore other countries policies and practices regarding early childhood education, even if it is just for a trial period to see if there are any relevant changes. The back to school article is interesting because it explodes children through literacy on how other children get to school and share the similarities and difference children experience going to school.Thank you for sharing your resources and goals.

ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant exposes children through literacy.
