Sharing Web Resources

This week I went back to the organization of PACE. The Professional Association for Childhood Education. I looked at some outside resources and articles that were available for anyone to look at. These articles and resources are great for advocates of education, teachers to get new and fresh ideas and families to be involved with what is going on in their child's education. This website leads to many scholarly articles and many ideas of what works and does not work in line of early childhood education. I really like where they have a public policy and action center. This is where most of the policies and standards are posted for certain aspects of programs and what is expected. This is also an area where many can voice out and show action in what they believe will make early childhood education show equality and excellence.

One link I followed on this website was the articles that were written dealing with issues and trends that are involved in education. The link I chose was this article on how employers have a tough time filling the skilled gaps in education. While looking at articles throughout this course, we have been looking at why there is or isn't equality and excellence in the classroom. This article states that education is not the only occupations where this is coming into play. Nurses, doctors, and other professionals have less skilled workers just as education does because of the lack of requirements. The website that I looked further into is http://americasedge.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/1302-CA-Sacramento-Business-Journal.pdf

Every week I gain many new insights on what all these resources can provide to use as educators, advocates and role models in our community. There are so many issues that I never realized were so major in young children's lives. I have come to see there are always ways to find information and this course has expanded my knowledge to do so.
