Community of Practice: Internationally

Save the Children

A program that helps children with their growth and development not only academically, but also physically, emotionally, mentally and cognition. This program provides advocacy, education, well-being and emergency help and support. What struck me the most is how much they involve and educate the parents about the well-being of their child and the importance and fragility of childhood.

Employment Opportunity:
Head Start Teacher I

"The Head Start Teacher is responsible for the general and day-to-day operations of a Head Start center with more than one classroom assuring regulatory and legal compliance with federal, state and local regulations, communicating with parents and the community and monitoring of staff" (Save the Children, n.d.). 

International Step By Step Association

The passion of providing, promoting and inspiring for quality and equality in early childhood education is what I like about this organization. They provide services that help and support early childhood education and ensure children, especially the most vulnerable ones, receive the best and equal opportunity to grow and develop as an individual.

Employment Opportunity:
There are no employment opportunity listed on the website. If I were to choose to work with ISSA, I would want to be a teacher or an advocate for children in early childhood education that ISSA is part of. 

United Nation Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

UNESCO works to uses culture difference as a means of education to increase knowledge of different culture, and promotes and encourage scientific research. UNESCO works to promote mutual understanding amongst people of different culture.  

Employment Opportunity:
The employment opportunity that UNESCO lists are mainly secretarial and directors, which are not of my interest. I would choose to work in education field for UNESCO educating people, especially children about different world cultures and how we can benefit from learning and accepting different cultures.
