At the top of the home page, it gives you the option of clicking on T.E.A.C.H. After I clicked on the link, it leads me to a page that gives information about the scholarship available through T.E.A.C.H. When I searched this area better, I found an actual application for the scholarship, the requirements for the program, and all the good it has done. The best part about this program is that it is geared towards educators. It helps pay for books and any other needs a college student may need. It is available to educators who live in the D.C area.
I have yet to receive an e-newsletter. Not sure I will know how long it will take to receive one either. After I looked through the website I did find a headline talking about empowering middle school children and their parents with the information they need to help start and fill out applications for college. It is called the ECZ, Entering the College Zone. I feel like this relates to the issue of inequity, and it is almost like a problem solving mechanism.
The website talks about PreK-3 and its promise to provide an environment based on improving children’s chances for success starting with the PreK-3rd policy initiative. This policy includes a range of activities in the home base area of D.C. Their improvement aims at seamlessly connecting high-quality early childhood programs with high quality elementary schools.
Although this particular website is based out of D.C I feel as though it is a very good website. It looks at early childhood in an all together way. It looks at preK-3rd graders, as well as middle schools and most of all it provides a way for those of us who want to educate others a ways. It helps to fuel the passion the rest of us have for the profession. If nothing else, this website keeps you up to date on the issue and trends such as health in the early childhood field. Being healthy can contribute to a lot when dealing with education, and the website http://nbcdi.org raises awareness of the issue very well.
