The steps that I took to get to talk to people from other countries was using the website http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance and I emailed one person from Australia and another person from Africa. I emailed both of them but havent gotten anything back yet. I also just did it yesterday so I am giving them a couple more days. I emailed them about if they have anyone from different countries in their classrooms and how they make them feel like they are included in the classroom as well.
The organization I looked at was zerotothree.org. So far, it looks like it will be very interesting and I hope to get great ideas for my classroom through this website.
Aloha Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI used the same resources to contact people and I haven't had any luck. I've tried a couple more from various countries, but no success. I contacted them last week Sunday and no one has sent me anything even a confirmation email.
Just recently I've been pulling more resources from Zero to Three and many of my co-workers have implemented different teaching approaches for dual language learners. Great resource!

Jamie,
ReplyDeleteI too had difficulty making contact with someone from another country but I found it interesting that early childhood education and issues have world wide application. I am looking forward to reading your next blog entry.
