Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Levels

 

I have always been a part of National Organizations that have assisted me in the work that I do as an early childhood professional. I feel that in order to work successfully with parents, staff and the community, you must be affiliated with organizations that will assist you in the work that you will be doing. I feel that the following organizations represent the work that and the Challenge Question for my capstone project. These resources will be used in m project.

National Coalition for Parent Involvement (NCPIE) I chose this organization, because of the importance that parent play in their children education. The organization provides a variety of resources for parents and teachers.

 
National Head Start Association (NHSA) is an organization that provides services, resources and professional development to local head start agencies to assure quality services to children.

National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAYEC) is a program that intent is to assist programs in making sure that they provide education to children through age 8.

 
Job Opportunities that is available in the NAYEC that are of interest to me in the Accreditation Coordinator/ Program Coordinator both positions require a Bachelor or advance degree in early childhood education. Other skills include good oral/written communication skills. I must be able to use MS Office and work in a fast paced environment.
