Harvard University Global Children's Initiative
I chose this week to look at the website of the Global Children's Initiative. I still have yet to receive much feedback from my international contacts. While looking at this website I gained much knowledge and understanding of how this program works and operates. There mission is to ensure that all children have opportunities early in life to be able to achieve to their fullest potential. The GCI focuses on to advance their children with using science to enhance their skills in practices.
This is initiative has many objectives to ensure that children have opportunities all around the world. Some objectives in this initiative is educating high level teachers, supporting innovative multidisciplinary research and demonstration projects, and building leadership in child research and policy among individuals and programs. The GCI focuses on three domains which are early childhood development, mental health and children in conflict and crisis situations.
Their first priority for early childhood development is to adapt to successful centers to energize and frame young children at an early age. Their second priority is to generate and apply new knowledge that addresses health and development of these young children in various settings.
The last thing that I believe is very good for advocates and professionals in our field of early education is the Global Children's Initiative works hard to find scholar resources to ensure children are getting the best education possible in the early childhood field. This shows that this program strives for equality and excellence of every child, family and professionals. The center provides research forums among high scholars to share findings and publications to show what's working and what's not. I would suggest this website for anyone in our field. I believe with more programs such as these, early education in every community would be even more successful.

Brittany,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your post! The Harvard University Global Children's Initiative appears to be an excellent resource. I just explored the website and their work with child development, mental health, and children in crisis and conflict situations will be well worth keeping an eye on as we continue to investigate early childhood issues and trends internationally.
