Sharing Web Resources

This Week on sharing resources I went back to the mail I got from the Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario on the 28^th of January 2015, and  clicked on the Advocacy for Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) webpage to find more information concerning Issues and Trends in Early Childhood Field.

I found out that the association for early childhood educators in Ontario the AECEO advocates on behalf of ECEs in different ways. Sometimes, they engage in an open advocacy through supporting existing early learning and child care campaigns or developing campaigns such as the current professional pay for professional work campaign.

There are times where their advocacy work takes them into multiple works as they engage in conversations around early childhood education and child care policy development, research and practice. The AECEO strives to voice the needs, concerns and rights of early childhood educators in important discussions that have an impact on the work of early childhood educators in Ontario.

 This website contains information that adds to my understanding of equity and excellence in early care and education. Just to attain a standard in excellence and equity, their members try as much as possible to attend as many meetings, consultations and community events as possible in order to represent early childhood educators, build partnerships and stay informed on current developments. They use a variety of written formats to include the voice and needs of early childhood educators in a broader conversations and developments. The items include position papers on specific issues, formal responses to government policy and funding and developments that impact the work of early childhood educators, as well as informal responses to public conversations such as letter to the editor.

The new insights I gained from exploring the website is their responsive way towards helping early childhood education to get to an equitable standard and also the way they help their early childhood educators to keep in touch with current issues and developments.
