Establishing Professional Contacts

 I have attempted to contact three different professionals in the Early Childhood Field. I have sent emails to Mr. Mr. Eric Atmore from South Africa, Mrs. Eva-Hammes-Di Bernardo from Germany, and Sra. Hilda Pérez Forest from Cuba. In my emails I have asked if these professionals would be able to inform me about the current issues that are going on in their field and what type of contributions they have made to the Early Childhood Field.  I was able to find these professionals email address at http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance. I am waiting to hear back from my contacts. If I do not hear back from my contacts then I plan to use World Forum Foundation Radio to learn about current issues and trends that are occurring around the world.

I wanted to find an Early Childhood organization that had an website that is easy to navigate. I also was looking for a organization that had a large amount of information that pertains to the Early Childhood Field and a free newsletter that I could sign up for. When I took all of these factors into consideration I found that Zero to Three met all of my needs. As soon as I found out that the Zero to Three website, http://www.zerotothree.org/ I registered for the newsletter and began researching the website.

I am looking forward to obtaining new knowledge about the Early Childhood Field. I enjoy getting to communicate with others who share my passion for teaching. I am already thinking of questions that I can use to gain a better understanding of issues and trends that are occurring in the Early Childhood Field from all around the world.
