The steps that I took this week to locate and contact two professionals was to search on the web. I looked on the web to find International Organizations for early childhood. I decided to contact The British Association for Early Childhood Education and The Canadian Association for Young Children. For the Canadian Association I was able to send an e mail to Margaret Fair (the president). I choose the British Association because I loved their website. I am a visual person and if I love what I see i am going to want to find out more about it. I chose the Canadian Association because I was able to actually e mail the president and I look forward to hearing back from her. I haven't heard anything yet but I am sure that I will. I don't think that I will have to go with an alternative assignment for Part 1. I am hoping my contacts will get back in touch with me.
The Early Childhood Organization that I chose was the Zero to Three organization. Again I loved the website and on my job we are challenged to find families with children zero to three to provide services to them. I thought that being linked to the website would help me with the services that we provide by offering me more information to give to the parents.
I felt kinda strange at first trying to reach out to someone in another country in the same profession but we will see how it goes. Do any of my colleagues have any tips on how to handle the professional contacts once we establish them?
