One of the National Organizations that I explored and find interest in was NAEYC. This organization looks out for the best interest of children. They focus on health and safety, positive interaction between adults and children, and parent involvement. It is a big ordeal for an organization to be NAEYC accredited. This means that your program meets all of the above guidelines mentioned above.
Job opportunity with this organization would be a Program Monitor , this person go to the different center to monitor the programs performance.
The next organization that I researched and was impressed with was the National Education Association (NEA). This organization is concerned about the education of young children and helping educators solve issues that they may be having. This program gives Educators an opportunity to learn from each other by networking with other Educators.
The job opportunity that I see through this organization is maybe a Educator Resource Person , an Academic Coach, or maybe someone in Administration.
The third organization that I researched was The National Association of Head Start. This organization is geared at improving the quality of Head Start programs and ensuring that their educators are well trained and knowledgeable of Early Childhood Standards and requirements.
The job opportunity that I see through this organization is to be Program Reviewer, Director of Head-Start, or a Center Manager.
The skills that I feel I would need to fulfill the qualification of these job opportunities is Knowledge, and a passion on Early Childhood Studies.

Hello Erica
ReplyDeleteI think we were on the same paths when it came to researching federal and national organizations. I hope that as you continue your career search that you find a job in the early childhood that is passionate for you. The NAEYC has many job opportunities and I feel that as exit this program that I will explore careers in that organization,
Good Luck!

Erica, I am a huge fan of NAEYC! As a matter of fact, one of the organizations that I referred to is the Texas Association for the Education of Young Children. Both organizations strive for the same goals and visions. Thanks for sharing!
