This research website is called Child and Family Web Guide. This research tool gives various of articles pertaining to the wealth of child development. There are many articles that cover social development, education, family and child care, health and nutrition, and other issues.  I find this website very informational, credible, and current. I am excited to share this with all of you and I hope it helps in your journey of researching.

The main topics of the website include every single topic you may think of about researching in our field of early childhood education. For example the category of parenting has topics for single moms, military families, child adoption, same sex parents, cyber bullying, step families, and much more. Another category is education. You can click on topics to enrich your knowledge for bullying, music, health care in school, language delay, literacy, mentoring and more. I hope everyone enjoys this positive example of research in our field.

My Personal Research Journey

~Equity and Excellence~

 

 

The topic that I have chosen to research more on this simulation process is equity and excellence in the field of early childhood education. I chose this topic because as a teacher I would like to make a difference in every single child's lives. While researching I personally would like to know more about ways to serve and understand equity and excellence in the community and in the classroom. I would like to understand more about how diversity plays a key role in developing a quality well run program. I believe with research of this issue, I will feel more comfortable with ensuring excellence to my students. I know that gaining knowledge and learning about our field is a life long process and with this course, it will be one step forward to giving the equity and excellence every child deserves.

 

The research chart was a very useful tool. Using the chart shows the quality the source may or may not have to a certain topic. I like the fact that it has specific questions to the article or website that we are using. I believe that through out this course it will help me to filter out the most important information that I will need to know.

 

Do you have any insight or knowledge to help me with this research topic?
