Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Level

At the national and federal level there are many organizations that play a major role in the early childhood field. These organizations inspire me to explore all the opportunities that I can give to all children and families that I encounter.

The first national organization that appeals to me is the NEA. The National Education Association is the largeste professional employee organization. They commit themselves in advancing the cause of public education. They have 3 million members that promote at every level of education. There are many issues and actions that the NEA takes to ensure that children are getting the best education possible (NEA, n.d.).

The next organization that catches my eye is the NAEYC Organization. This is the National Association for the Education of Young Children. This organization improves and supports the practice and programs that work towards to achieve a high-quality system of early childhood education. They show effots to develop an appropriate curriculum and well trained program for all educators, children and their families (NAEYC,n.d.).

The last national organization that develops opportunities for young children is the Association for Early Learning Leaders. This is a non profit organization that fosters in their programs to serve the best quality education as possible. They promote leadership development and enhancing all programs. This organizaiton has served for child care directors and adminstrators ever since 1984.

One job opportunity that interest me is home schooling and/tutor a child or children. I did this for a short time as a tutor and I really enjoyed having one on one time with the child. I feel that if a child gets one on one time with their learning it is more beneficial. Even though this could not be my full time job to pay the bills, I find it interesting and if the opportunity arose I would take on the challenge. If I was tutoring, I would communicate with their teacher to ensure that we are covering all the information the child needs to know. If I was home schooling, I would need the long term skills of creating a curriculum on my own. I would have to do research to make sure that the child is learning at the level a child would be at their age.
