The blog that I choose to explore was: http://www.naeyc.org/
I think that it adequately addresses most things that involve Early Childhood Education and new trends and issues that need to be discussed also.
The topic that I explored this week I found very interesting. Two principals were interviewed about how to keep the parents of a very diverse community engaged in the school. This has been a hot topic for the last two classes that I have taken in this program. The methods they discussed were not so cutting edge but they did mention many of the things that we have been discussing such as making sure that families are included and feel welcomed. They mentioned having dinner nights to open PTA meetings. This sends a message to the children that the educators that work with them and they and their parents are all one big family.
I did explore additional links on the website and they lead me to the local chapter of the NAEYC. They have local meetings, opportunities for employment. The additional web resources are excellent and I am glad to know that there is a local branch and ways for me to follow up.
