This week for the blog assignment I chose to do the podcast assignment, and I have yet to receive my response, so I am doing the assignment from the webpage which allows me to share 3 new ideas and insights I have learned and gained related to issues in the international early child.
In the November 2011 the Regional Conference on Early Childhood Development was held in Singapore. At this conference, the supporting core organizations were the UNICEF, UNESCO, Plan International, Open Society Foundation and Save the Children. The conference was aimed at focusing on the needs that can be done to decrease under-five mortality rates, reduce malnutrition, increase access to services from children under 3. The conference focused on so many new insights that have enlightened my understanding of the importance of creating a healthy beginning to a child’s developmental beginning.
The highlight of the conference was the launch of the “Resource Package for 0-3”. This package’s goal is to help inform and prepare policy makers, practitioners and parents with a variety of information on early childhood development for children under the age of 3. There are also a number of hands-on workshops formed to utilize resource materials along with policy consultations. This is great to know about. I personally would like to attend a few of their workshops in order to experience the new standards.
What really has enhanced my understanding of the webpage is the fact that more than just the United States is taking a better look at their children at an earlier standpoint. The People’s Republic of China, Pakistan, the Philippines and Mongolia just to name a few that are also beginning to put a focus on the importance of the foundation of a child’s education. I think we as an educational field, whether in the United States or other countries are on a great road to helping develop minds at an earlier age. I am proud to say that my heart belongs to this profession.
