Professional Contacts
During my time teaching in Ghana, Africa I made some great friends and supports in the teachers that I worked with. I would love to use them for this assignment, and still have their email information. Unfortunately, the internet connections in Ghana vary day by day. A lot of times service will go in and out making it hard to have time sensitive conversations. Because of this, I will be participating in the World Forum podcasts to communicate and learn from educators abroad.
The Early Childhood website I have chosen to explore and study is the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. I chose to study this website because the name was most appealing to me, and after looking at the website found it to be something I was interested in and would like to know more about. I was originally going to choose the NAEYC, but am a member and am familiar with their positions and work, so wanted to choose an association I was not familiar with.
Melanie,
ReplyDeleteYou and I will be investigating the same organization. I chose it because after I complete my program, I want to teach future teachers and felt this website will give me an idea of what's to come.
I envy your experience teaching in another country. I thought about applying to teach abroad but until 2 years ago when I got divorced, it wasn't an option. Now, I'm concentrating on my Master's. I would enjoy hearing, sometime, about your experience and learn about life in Ghana.
I look forward to working with you again in this class.

Wow Melanie, you taught in Ghana? I know it was a memorable experience. You answered my question concerning my returned email. I emailed an early childhood organization in Ghana, but the email did not go through. If their internet system is down, that would be why my email did not go through. I look forward to hearing some of the stories from your experiences as a educator in Ghana.
ReplyDeleteThank You,

Melanie,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing opportuity you had to teach in Ghana. I have taught a lot around the United States but not overseas. Awesome! I liked that organziation also, so I will be interested in what you found out in the next few weeks. I chose to Zero to Three based on its involvement with Military Families. I am so glad to see your name in this course. Good Luck, Melissa
Melanie,
ReplyDeleteWhat did you do in Ghana? Sounds interesting! I would love to go there someday! Your blog site is beautiful!
