Final international resources Professional Learning

For the past seven weeks I have learned so much from my colleague’s international findings as well as my own finding. It was amazingly surprised to find out that children are living in poverty as well as do not have proper education. My goal as a professional is to stay knowledgeable on the issues and trends that affected the early childhood education field, and have my colleagues helped me achieve that goal through their finding about issues and trends through their international resources. One of the website that I explored was Zero to Three, and they were one of the best sites that can help me stay informed about children behavior and their development.

One learning point that I get is that children from birth to three most likely to be maltreated. It was hard to learn that children are facing the hardship of maltreatment on a regular basis. Another, learning point from the past few weeks was that Chinese people still continue to live in poverty. In fact, to know that 4.2 million Chinese children are living in poverty and 8.7 million live in disadvantaged condition was heart breaking because these children should at less get the basics such food, clean water, clean clothes, and a decent place to live. The next thing I learn is that middle school age children are very sexually active because the Nigeria woman does not have any value. The men in that country treats woman with no respect therefore the young children are abused by the men in Nigeria. In this case many young girls are sexual active at a young age because they think it is normal to let the man do whatever they want with them.

As a professional in this field I set many goals for my journey in the early childhood education to educate individuals on the issues and trends that affect children and families. One of my goals is to work closely with other educators and policy-maker to help change family lives as well as children in critical needs. Overall I would like to thank all that took the time to read and comment to my blog post. I am grateful for your insight on the early childhood education as well as adding a great deal of knowledge on the issues and trends that children and families are dealing with on a regular basis. I have learned a lot from that past 8 weeks from all my classmates. Thank you all.
