Promoting high-quality learning by connecting practice, policy, and research

This research was so interesting, I just renewed my membership with NAEYC. Yeah!!!!!!! Join today my colleagues. 

I have not actually researched the entire website of NAEYC so I just completed my four hours of research on this website.         https://www.naeyc.org/

I can recall when I was growing up as a child and in high school, I read different magazines, publications, websites.  However, I never observed inside of the books different pictures of what you see posted below.  A diversity of all children in the world because that is what our world is made of today and then.  However, individuals are now displaying diversity on their websites.  I just enjoyed everything about NAEYC so I want to share with you in Week 6 all the information I learned on NAEYC. They have covered all areas in learning about the young child.

    Hi Katrina,
    I am also a member of NAEYC and I have worked in a couple of NAEYC accredited Early Childhood Programs as well. Developmentally Appropriate Practices are a major part of NAEYC's standards. I really enjoy the training and resources that NAEYC provides to professionals. The Early Head Start I currently work for is preparing to become NAEYC accredited. I believe that this is a big deal and will show the high quality and care that we provide to young children and families. Great post!

My Country is China Title: Academic stress in Chinese schools and a proposed preventive intervention program           The authors suggested that while American educators fret about the mediocre educational performance of American students in international contests (e.g. the Program for International Student Assessment) and wonder why the Chinese education system produces such high-achieving students, educators, journalists, and public officials in China want to know what causes and how to prevent the high levels of academic stress that Chinese students, their families, and their school systems experience. They point the finger that the stress level has been directed to the Gaokao, the Chinese national college entrance exam that takes place in June each year. According to the article, they prepared a case for s

She was born 38 years ago in the afternoon and I had a small complication in delivering her because my female complications.  However, I was raised in the church. I had praying warriors speaking on my behalf.  Suddenly, my female organs began to work and I had her natural birth.  It was nothing but a miracle and a blessing. I am so thankful for my wonderful daughter. I chose this experience because it is very dear to my heart. I believe that any woman who can carry a child for 9 months and deliver that precious child is very blessed. Selected a country other than the US and tell about birth?  I selected Africa.
