I subscribed to the newsletter for the organization that I
picked, National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. The newsletter starts by giving an award to
the teacher educator for the month, someone who made a difference or did
something remarkable for their organization.
The president of the organization then gives details on ways to become
more active in the association. One
topic or issue they bring up in the newsletter is that of a fund raiser to help
the children in education. They talk
about needing more fund to be able to bring more people into the organization
to make that difference. It then lists
four tasks that were thought to need more work in the coming months. Those included more research based practices,
establish the NAECTC as an expert source for educators, highlight highly
effective teachers, and revising a position statement to include more.
I don’t think that this newsletter touches on the diversity
and demographics this week but I do think it touches on the idea. The idea behind the fund raising event is to
recognize those people that may not have a lot or need more in terms of
education. I think this could include
many that are diverse and struggling in life.
They have 47 members and have a goal to get up to 60 for this event.
I checked this website out and found it very interesting. I look forward to continuing to follow your blog and learn from it. It sounds like this organization is trying to raise the necessary awareness to continue to expand.

ReplyDeleteHi Lynette,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing information on your chosen organization. I hope it proves useful and I look forward to hearing more about what you're learning from it.
Hi Lynette, like you I chose NAEYC as well. I had trouble finding their newsletter however, even though I subscribed to it last week. I was able to google it and get a file, so I wanted to ask how you got it so I can compare notes. Thanks for your help! I'm very interested in NAEYC, they do such great things. I go to their Atlantic City convention every year and leave with so many ideas and things, I highly recommend it to every educator!
