Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

Part 1 - Establishing Professional Contacts
This has been challenging for me.  I have sent out several e-mails with the list of resources that were provided.  I have also sent an e-mail through a yahoo group that I am part of in hopes of getting a response as there are early childhood professionals from other countries that are part of that group.  I am keeping my hopes up that I will get some responses from that e-mail!

Part 2 - Expanding Resources
I have chosen to take a closer look at The National Head Start Association's website.  I worked for Head Start since the fall of 2000 but I have not taken the time to explore the website and find out more about the resources that are available online.  I have spent a bit of time this week looking around and have found that there is a lot of information.  I am excited to see what else is out there!

  1. Jodi,
    Keep the faith; we have all faced challenges with this assignment! I have had all my emails come back exact one and I am waiting on my grandmother to get me through to a contact in Ghana. The website I chose was www.pre-know.org. I chose it because I never understood how important pre-k was until I was placed with that age group for my student teaching. It just breaks my heart to know that there is a waiting list in my county as well as the surrounding counties for hundreds of children trying to get into the NC Pre-k program, which means they will be behind.
