Establishing Professional Contact

This week I have emailed over a dozen Global Alliance websites but was unsuccessful in reaching any of them.  Most of the emails were returned as undelivered I will continue to email until I find someone that will correspond with me on educational issues in there country. After not being successful in contacting anyone from the Global Alliance I completed the alternative blog assignment and listening to the podcasts Episode 7 by T.J. Skalski of the Mother Earth's Children's Charter School (MECCS) in Canada. T.J. Skalski talked about the stability of the programand how they had been opened for five years and had gone through five directors and four supervisors. The children and teachers has been  working along with the new peinciple to make sure the program is successful. Contact information was given so I emailed a representative from there organization. I can't wait to hear back from them.


Part 2: Expanding Resources

The organization I chose to expand my early childhood resources on was the Children's Defense Fund. The Children’s Defense Fund is a non-profit child advocacy organization that works to ensure a level playing field for all children. They provide policies and programs that lift children out of poverty; protect them from abuse and neglect; and ensure their access to health care, quality education and a moral and spiritual foundation.

 

The have a Leave No Child Behind mission and it ensures every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

 

CDF provides a strong, effective and independent voice for all the children of America who cannot vote, lobby or speak for themselves.
