This week I continue to navigate through the National Association for the Education of Young Children website(NAEYC) located at www.naeyc.org.I visit many links that lead me to the organizations affiliates and sponsors. These organizations are supporters of the ideas being offered by NAEYC. I ventured out to a link that allows people to download informative handouts from presenters of conferences and workshops at http://www.naeyc.org/conference/presenters. I think this is a great reference as I cannot afford to travel to the national conferences that this organization holds. This helps to address the issues of responsiveness as I can bring the handouts to my fellow staff and present new ideas to families. The information is attainable to a wider audience and diverse groups. A new insight about issues and trends in the early childhood field I gained this week from exploring the website is that the organization offers position statements that address the inequities of early child education but I could not find and offered solutions to them. I feel these issues of inequalities must be addressed in forums where the general public are and not in a website where mostly people in the field reside. We can all agree but it would not do much good if other people know what we are agreeing one. Child advocacy is very important for our ideas to be put into actions with more ease.
