This week I have been
researching several organizations and programs that have made an impact on school
readiness in prospective communities, particularly those from at-risk families.
The three organizations that I have chosen all have very valuable and useful information on
defining school readiness. They also have examples of school readiness pilot programs,
assessments and the results or finding of each outcome.
Therefore I will be adding them to my community of practice team. They include:
National Institute for Early Education Research
(NIEER): http://nieer.org
The PEW State and Consumer Initiative: http://www.pewstates.org
Center On the Developing Child – Harvard University:

As I continue to move
forward on my professional journey, I have become more knowledgeable of the
variety of positions that are available outside of the teaching
profession. As I began to search
additional job opportunities on the national and federal level I came across
three that appealed. I also can imagine myself holding each of these positions
because they all work for quality care and education for all children.
The first position: SFLDirector of Early Childhood
Initiatives- the position is located in Reston, VA and requires supervisory
experience, curriculum development and experience with content knowledge related
child care licensing, quality rating and improvement systems, professional
development systems and other early learning program initiatives.
Another position: An Early Childhood Education
Instructor’s position, located in Spokane, Washington. The position requires
that the one is able to prepare and instructs,
through traditional classroom and distance education classes in the area of
Early Childhood Education.
The next position I found is a
Program Analyst 4 – (Early Learning Hub Manager) located in Salem, Oregon. The
program requires that the Analyst lead initiatives that put young children first
and move forward with reforms to strengthen early care and education system. It
also requires advising on various early childhood development and early
learning strategies.
