Sharing Web Resources


Hello Everyone!

This week I found some fabulous outside links on NAECTE.  I have listed them below for your convenience.  One of my favorites was the Australian Early Childhood Association.  This site had a lot of information for early childhood educators that focuses on both personal and professional development.  I also enjoyed reading their media releases. 

Another excellent link was the University of Kentucky page.  This link provides certification requirements for all 50 states.  I love having that information located in one place; it makes it very easy to contrast and compare the different requirements.  

I must say that I have not been very impressed with the information on the original site that I chose, NAECTE.  There is not a wealth of information that meets my needs, but the outside links provided are well worth a second glance.  

The NAECTE newsletter is published 4 times per year.  The last publication was winter of 2013.  This edition of the newsletter is mainly devoted to the upcoming NAECTE spring conference and future NAECTE elections.  There is not any information on the website or the newsletter that is pertinent to equity or excellence in early care and education other than the push for higher levels of teacher education through licensure and certification standards.  

Happy Browsing!

    Monette,

    Thank you for providing a list of outside resources that you found from your initial website. I have to agree that I find the University of Kentucky webpage very informative and a useful resource tool. It is great to be able to have that information available when an educator is looking for a teaching job and is comparing certification requirements to make sure that they are eligible for the position that they are applying for.

    Thank you for posting all of these great websites. I also really enjoyed the Australian Early Childhood Association website. I was looking at the resource themes for school readiness. It was very interesting that they have a book all about getting your child ready to enter school! I wish that we had something like this as well! Definitely something that I will be looking into! What a great resource!

    Monette,
    Wow!! Thank you for posting these sources. It is very nice to have so much information in one place. The certification requirements is great especially if someone is considering relocating.

    Thanks again!
