!Final Blog Post!

          I enjoyed this class so much! I have learned a lot about the international early childhood field.  Unfortunately, I never received a response back from the international contacts that I had chosen in the beginning of the class.  However, I was able to take part in the alternative assignments that was offered to us if our contacts did not work out.  I was able to explore the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre's website, http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/, Harvard University's "Global Children's Initiative website,http://developingchild.harvard.edu/initiatives/global_initiative/, and  UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage, http://www.unesco.org/new/en/education/themes/strengthening-education-systems/early-childhood/.  Being able to see how world of early childhood is, in other parts of the world is so interesting and exciting.  Knowing that we are not alone in this journey to make the world a better place for our children is encouraging.
          One personal goal that I have set for myself is to continue learning about international awareness of the early childhood field and to be in contact with other professionals in the field that are in other parts of the world.  I want to stay abreast of all of the things happening all over the world in the field.  I am so thankful for this class and all of my colleagues that I have come in contact with through this class.  I have learned so much from you all and I wish you well in all that you do while at Walden University, and then also in all that you do professionally and in your life.
