Issues and Trends Connecting with Others Around the World

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 AfricaOMEP 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.
