As of today I am finding it a challenge to locate two professionals that is willing to communicate on a weekly basis. I thought it would be easy, seeing the fact that I have family in other countries. I have been sending out emails and posting on Facebook to see if I could find someone who might know someone, but it is not looking good. Two of the emails was sent out to individuals on the resource page, and still got no responses. I have two co-workers who are from another country and are willing to call around for me within the week to see if they know someone. It is looking like I might have to do alternate assignment. Either way I am going to learn from this course and my classmates.
The process of selecting the early childhood organization was easy, but I took my time to see all of my choices. I knew that I want to work with children of all ages, but I have a special interest in the students that is about age 4 and 5. The reason for that is because for the past 3 years that is the age group that I have worked with. I also wanted to learn more about the advancement in the field as they occur. With that is mind the website of the National Head Start Association was decided on. The website contained information about upcoming conferences, a radio network, programs that is available, research, and many need to know information about the head start program. Another great thing is that the website contained a newsletter, which was also something else that I was interested in.
If any of my classmates has any helpful hints on how to make communication with professionals please feel free to let me know, I am open to any suggestions.
Hi Kelisha,
ReplyDeleteI was able to make two contacts through online connections. I will see if any of them know someone else that can help you. I also enjoyed really looking at all of the organizations. It was a hard choice for me also because I wanted to research an organization I did not know anything about. I am really looking forward to learning more about global connections and organizations this semester.
Good Luck
Rhonda
Hey Kelisha!
DeleteI've sent out a couple of emails to some individuals in England and hope to hear from them soon. I also asked if they didn't want to participate to send back names of those they thought would participate. So if I get some extras I will send them your way!
Hi Kelisha,
ReplyDeletelove your blog so nice and happy.I thought I had been lucky and made contacts,because although the orginizations did answer the contacts they sent me have not.I have recieved news letters.I found that clicking on contact us directs you directly to the orginizations main email and then they take it from there. Good luck. I also like the Head Start orginization.
