The website I chose at the beginning of
class was Zero to Three. Too be honest I
did not realize that they had outside links available until this assignment
encouraged me to find links I had not explored on their website. As I browsed the website more I found at the
bottom of the home page four links, three of which were to outside
sources. The one I chose to follow was
Early Head Start, however the link was not working, therefore, I typed Early
Head Start into the search engine and was able to pull the Head Start website
up and then I clicked on the Early Head Start link, which brought me to the
page I wanted to be on.
It is clear that Early Head Start
supports early care and education. Under
Early Head Start I clicked on the link Child development and Early Learning
which provided me with eight topics to choose from. The one that interested me the most was
school readiness. When I clicked on
school readiness it brought me to a variety of articles and webcasts that
allows the reader and viewer to learn about school readiness for infants and
toddlers. I particularly enjoyed
reading the part 1 through part 3 News you can use Approaches Toward
Learning—Foundations of School Readiness.
You can find these articles at the following links:
Further from the website I learned more about
Strong Start for America’s Children Act and how I can become involved. If you would like to read more about this, you
can find it at the following link http://rally4babies.org/strong-start-americas-children-act-2013/
The insights that I gained about issues
and trends in the early childhood field from the zero to three website this
week is a stronger knowledge base on
what I can do to provide children with the experiences they need from the
beginning in order to be successful throughout their educational journey. Also, I found an article on the Zero to Three website that is helpful because it gives you ways to help parents to become involved in advocating for their children. The article can be read at the following link

Randee,
ReplyDeleteI too, did not know that the Zero to Three website provided you with resources to outside links. It took me a while to find outside links as well. I found the same four tabs you discussed in your blog assignment. I also could not get access to the Early Head Start link. However, I previously worked for head start and know the importance of school readiness. Thank you for sharing additional information on school readiness and showing me links to other outside sources.
Randee,
ReplyDeleteWe both like the Zero to Three. It has so much information I enjoy surfing the website and its various links.It is truly a valuable tool for educators.Continue to share the information.
Hi Randee,
ReplyDeleteI love that they offer information to help parents advocate for their children! That is so important! Children are not often heard and they do so need a voice! That is a very important role of the parents. Children are people too. :) In my career, we often refer families to an agency locally called Family Resource Network, they offer trainings for parents on advocacy. :)
