The Political Will to Improve Early Childhood Systems

 

As I am learning more about the political parts and the advocates of early childhood education, the best strategy I’m witnessing so far  is the unity of former teachers who are now on the front line of organizations, writing books  and official committees as resources such as: , Help Me Grow, Unity Way,  The South Region of Infant mental health and more. Educators with community support are moving mountains to be heard. 

 

In this week’s learning the most appealing part I came across was the website

  http://www.clasp.org/issues/child-care-and-early-education

This site is highly recommended for the support and resources that is provides. In my week 4 discussion I talked about how we need more doctors to offer the developmental screening and how parents can participate in sharing the information about their child.  When both really work together, I would hope to see more doctors supporting the unity of early education  by speaking up to Congress  and parenting with child care centers. The link I enjoyed reading was:
