I was interested in this organization because they play a big part on helping keeping parents as wells as educators knowledgeable about education. I think that all parents should think about continuing education opportunities. The organization is funded by the Louisiana Department of health and Hospital, Bureau of Family and Office of Public health. They are an association for parent educators in Louisiana. The people that make of their ideal community of practice are professionals from different backgrounds, that all share an interest in providing quality and effective parenting education. They would like for parents to become educated with education services, and promote best practices in parent education. They didn't have any jobs available, because you can email them and join, and they keep in touch and communicate through emails.

The NAEYC has set standards for ECE programs that can help families make the right choices when they are looking for pre-k-kindergarten programs and a child care center. I think this is great for first time parents, because it will help them ease their minds and answers questions when they are looking for ant ECE program. I am already a member and I love learning new things about ECE. I chose this community of practice because this organizations gears to helping families they offer many resources that will educate families about ECE education. I really enjoy being a member of such a purposeful organization.
Guadalupe,
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned three interesting job options. Given your current qualifications, which of these jobs do you think you would immediately qualify for based on their preferred job qualifications requirements? I personally think that you readily qualify for the NAEYC job after the completion of this last course in your graduate degree program. Whereas the other two jobs might require further certification to enable you qualify for either job.
Having said that, would you be willing to further continue your schooling to enable you attain additional certificate if given the opportunity for any of these jobs?

Yes! I would continue my education. I have some counseling experience because I work for Ekhaya Youth Project, which is a mental Health agency that deals with families that suffers from depression, behavioral issues, anxiety and parenting skills.
