Consequences of learning about the international early childhood field

     The international early childhood field (Kenya) taught me that education for young children in need is important in Kenya.  It does not matter in what shape the child is there is always helped.  In Kenya there are programs that help young children with special needs. Children are providing with all the different resource they need to reach their potential.  Learning from Kenya has provided me with the resource that I can still make a difference in a child life.  No matter how much money there is for teaching material there are always things that I can use to plan a well balance curriculum.  Seeing children in poverty breaks my heart. Children should not suffer. One of my goal as an educator is to work with the less fortunate and help them succeed.

Professional Goals, Hopes and Dreams

I have several professional goals that I would like to start working on.  The first one is to learn how to integrate technology to my teaching. I want to provide my students with the new way of teaching. The second goal is to add some new teaching strategies. New teaching strategies would give me the opportunity to be able to reach each student with their learning needs.  The last goal that is so important to me is being able to improve how I differentiate my instructions. Some students are in the need of so much help that it is sometimes hard as a teacher to be able to find different ways to teach the same subject.

     My dreams and challenges are being able reach each student learning needs. I believe each student has the capacity to learn on their own way.  I feel a challenge as a teacher to look for ways on how to present the learning material to every student in my classroom. My dream is to see them finish school and succeed in whatever they choose to.

Sharing Web Resources

     The link took me to explore and learn about Ghana. Since 2000 ICRI has been working with Ghana to provide a healthier place for the children.  In 2003, Ghana opened a full time office in Accra to help the orphan and displace children in rural villages.  This program aims to restructuring workshop to help teachers provide an equality program to children in need.  Children that are less privileged in society will get the right education.  The program would empower and build children to become good citizens.  This program would also seek and promote children rights in our community.

     The International Child Resource Instated in Ghana provides and train teachers and administrators with effective methods in early childhood education.  The learning materials used were made of crafted from objects found.  To ensure the program works for all children, they conduct an ongoing evaluation to help teachers plan new interventions.  

Working Globally

     The new information that I gained from visiting this website is that there are 200 million children around the world that don’t reach their full potential by age 5. Another insight that I became aware is that in North America, the Center on the Developing Child is working globally to help breakthrough the outcomes of our children in poverty.

    

    This organization is helping coordinate different strategies to support our children health, education and economic development.  Also, they are in the need of protecting our children form adversity and are providing them with a high quality learning opportunities.  They also mention and we all should know this is that early childhood years are the critical years of a child lives.  We should all be providing our children with an accessible education that would help our children be school readiness. No matter if our children come from low-income homes, they also need to be included in our higher education programs. As educators we need to close the gap between our low-income students.
