1. As I looked into the practices in other countries I was able to learn from other approaches. Other countries have successfully, and unsuccessfully, addressed some of the issues that I face regularly. The more I learn about their practices and the outcomes the more I can diversify my own practices.
2. I learned that research from all countries can apply to all children. Children have different life experiences, culture, abilities, etc. But we can learn from research internationally to help drive our own practices.
3. I learned the importance of being engaged with the international EC community. Prior to this class I had very little interest in international practices, but I have now come to realize the importance.
My goal for the field related to international awareness is to bring the importance of recognizing the issues and trends globally to my local EC community.
Hi nice post,
ReplyDeleteI had to smile because I was just like you, before the class I had little interest in international practices..Now I love reading about them.
Hi Amber,
ReplyDeleteI love that graphic. I often use graphics demonstrating children of all backgrounds around the globe. It's one simple picture, yet speaks volumes.
