Current 2016 international research topics are the following: a. Gifted and talented: Inclusion and exclusion. b. Creativity and young children: Wondering, exploring, discovering, learning. c. Connecting with babies.
What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website.
I chose the Early Childhood Australia's Advocacy website. Early Childhood Australia's Advocacy (ECA) is the national peak body for early childhood. The debate all matters regarding children birth to eight years of age as well as the families. This includes:
- commitment to children’s rights
- knowledge of early childhood development, learning and pedagogy
- commitment to an inclusive and just society
- respect for the rights and aspirations of families
- the active involvement of our members
What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?
I saw they have an online platform called the ECA Learning Hub. The learning Hub offers great professional development resources for all professionals and educators that work with young children. This allows professionals and educators to learn new ideas and become more knowledgeable about the frameworks, standards, and research about quality practice. learning Hub also have videos, modules and webinars that are great to use as resources.

Thank you for sharing the information on the ECA Learning Hub. I think it is worth exploring and sharing any important or relevant information with my staff! Currently they must complete a professional growth activity and reflect on a current article or research item in ECE. Resources like this are very helpful for these activities! - Megan Strella adventuresofadirector.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan! I found the learning hub to be a great resource for anyone that deals with children. I'm sure your staff will learn a great deal and can implement some of the things they learned from the learning hub.
DeleteThank you for sharing. I chose the same website. I will utilize this website especially for the learning hub once I open up my facility.
ReplyDeleteThan you Sheena! So are you planning opening a child development center? Have you gotten your business plan together yet? I would like to know the vision you have for your business. Good Luck!
DeleteIt was interesting to read the information you provided on the website pertaining to early childhood education advocacy in Australia. I found it interesting that you stated they touch base on government issues. In many areas, the topic of government issues is one sided. Did it seem this way on the website? I love the fact that they provided a learning HUB for others to utilize. I always find those beneficial. Thanks for providing a plethora of information.
