Six weeks ago to
become more informed and gain understanding about issues and supports in the work
beyond my border, I reached out to several organizations in Europe who offer
the Step by Step Program.
There were also some contacts made with organizations
that address issues related to early childhood.
I have been receiving regular newsletters from Australia WebWatch and Harvard
University Centre for the Developing Child.
This
week the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture
(UNESCO) website was examined.
The scope of UNESCO’s resource and research is tremendous. As noted in the title, they target a variety
of issues that impact this planet. Youth
are provided tools to become engaged through innovation and collaborative practices. Information
is presented in text, video and auditory formats which address relevant issues associated with academic, health and life skills development of youth around the world. Some information is accessible in a variety of different languages including Spanish and Chinese. This site also supports effective practices for teachers, highlighting
hands on teaching. The range of issues and resources offered are
extensive, but I was fortunate to find several resources that focus upon early education
and Inclusive Practices.
