Establishing Professional Contacts & Expanding Resources

          This week's assignment has proved to be somewhat of a difficult one for myself.  I emailed six different emails to contact a professional outside of the U.S., and I received an email immediately after saying that the emails were nonexistent.  Finally, on the seventh try, I did not receive a "nonexistent" email, and this was also the case for the eight one.  So, I have sent emails out to two different early childhood professionals and now I am waiting on their replies. 

          The website that I decided to research was the ZERO TO THREE website.  I registered on their site, and I am currently signed up to receive two of their newsletters.  I am very excited to learn more about this organization, I first heard of it in my first class at Walden University.  One of the speakers in a video we had to watch, was a part of ZERO TO THREE.  From the little that I know right now about the organization, it is one that every early childhood professional should be a part of.

  1. I agree, I am a member of there site as well and have been for some time now and I love the newsletters that they send. I print them out and give them to my parents as well. They are a great resource

  2. Hi Rachel,

    I also experienced difficulty communicating with international childhood professionals. I did however subscribe to podcasts in which I can listen to media on early childhood issues and trends.
    I love your blog!!!! It is beautiful and creative!
