This assignment is very exciting for me and I look forward to learning about education in orhter parts of the world. The first thing that came to mind for me was that I have a former colleague Gretchen, who is now teaching early childhood in Dubai. Since she left in August I have contacted her from time to time to see how things are going. She is very excited to be teaching there and is loving the experience. I have emailed her asking that she stay in touch with me on a weekly. Currently, I am awaiting to hear back from her. For my 2nd person I chose to email South Africa, OMEP South African National Committee,The National Early Childhood Development Alliance. I currently have a student that is from South Africa and would truly like to learn more about his culture and the educational system there.
For my organization I chose to follow the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. I am an early childhood educator and I found this website to be very informative. It connects educators from around the world with current trends and research. It also has a quarterly newsletter that is published and the information in there was very informative. I look forward to connecting with other educators from around the world.
