Blog Assignment: Your Personal Research Journey

The topic I chose was Parent Involvement. I chose parent involvement because as a teacher it is
very essential to a child's development. Parent Involvement helps a child with their social/emotional,
cognitive, language, and physical skills. Parent involvement also helps to learn about different cultures in the classroom. For example I had  a parent from China and we dress up in the clothing of China and she brought food that she cook and we experiment of eating with chop sticks. We also sit down on the floor like Chinese and the children love it. We was listening to Chinese music and opening our fortune cookies.
The research chart gives me an insight of learning of different was of doing my research.

Week 8 Final Blog Assignment

The three consequences of learning about the early childhood and my professional and professional development is global learning with other teachers around the world, networking, and learning for teachers of how they teach and educated teachers around the world. It gave me insights of learning from different countries of how they do things with their education and testing standards and how they do their curriculum . The one goal for the international awareness of issues and trends is being a teacher along with my colleagues and educators to advocate for children and families around the world. This is how you become active in your community and global around the world. This also helps teachers and educators with their professional development. I feel like I have learn a lot from my colleagues of how they made international contact with other people around the world and it just fascinating how we made connections with people about the early childhood. I just like to say I enjoyed all my colleagues and I have learn from each and I do not like to say goodbye I like to say see you later and wish everyone much success in the early childhood education.

child's lifelong learning. The second insights I have gained is learning of the high quality childcare.
In high quality childcare is for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, promotes motivation,
confidence, good cognitive and linguistic development and school readiness. School readiness promotes physical, cognitive, social/emotional,  literacy and language, and approaches of learning.
The third insights I have gained is the curriculum in early childhood care and education. The curriculum
helps the program standards for parents to understand child/staff ratios, educator qualification, and indoor and outdoor learning environments. Children learn best within positive relationships-with
their parents and families, with their peers and with well-trained early childhood educators. These are the insights I have gained from the UNESCO's Early Childhood Care and Education. The website is

Getting to Know Your International Contacts-Part 1

In the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre the poverty in the country in Mexico had a lot
of issues. The three insights I gained from this website is how poverty effects low income families when the woman are pregnant, food,and the climate change of the weather. If the women do not get the medical attention that is needed they have a high risk of still-births. In the country of Mexico with the poverty issues they have a lot of still-births when women become pregnant because they can not get the help they need and they do not have the resources like we do. The climate change of a temperature and the rainfalls have a lot to do with the crops growing for them to sell to make the money and it can affect people that have jobs and not able to work due to work.A household in Mexico  is considered to be capacity poor if its members cannot afford to cover their basic expenses on food, health and education, according to an officially defined basket. Finally, a household is considered to be in asset poverty if its members cannot cover their expenses of food, health, education, dressing, home and public transportation. This is the insights I gained from the poverty issues.

The newsletter that I subscribe was the National Head Start program. Even though I am

 a teacher in the Early Head Start program I wanted to know what is going on with the National

Head Start Programs around the world. Basically the programs are the same but they just

deal with different age groups. My concerns are the budget cuts that is happening

around the different states. In Durham, North Carolina which I am from we had a 120

slots available for children in the Early Head Start program. Ten percent of them children

they have to take is children with special needs. They took away 20 slots which was home based

programs. That was a disappointment to our teachers, parents, and the community.

            The newsletter caught my attention by how major the cuts are affected children, teachers

and families all around the world. The organization focus how can we prevent these budget cuts

and we can make it better for our families that are living in poverty. Congress believes that the

budget cuts are harmless and can be ignored. As teachers, educators, parents, legislative,

and the community we have to show congress how painful these cuts are in our own community.
