Last Week
For the past 7 weeks, I was fortunate to have been able to
learn from 3 international contacts. My
correspondence with them brought about the following consequences:
1.
I realized how different and yet how similar
other countries are from my country.
2.
I felt relieved in a way when I found out that
the Philippines is not alone, that other countries also go through similar
problems, issues and challenges.
3.
I understood that my country is also affected
and impacted by global trends in early childhood.
4.
Made me want to advocate more for children,
families, the field and the teachers as well.
5.
I benefited from not only the course work and
reading but from my colleagues as well.
I believe that one goal of the field should be :
“building and sustaining linkages and relations between Early
Childhood Professionals around the world; helping each other, learning from
each other to be able to uplift children, families and the field together”

I like the fact that you mentioned being in contact with others. It is important to stay connected and to be on top of what is going on. Good Luck.
Hi Elizabeth,
The similarities between nations caught my attention as well. It was interesting that wealthy nations have many of the same issues as poorer nations--that was a new realization for me! I've enjoyed reading your blog--hope to see you in the next class!
I agree with you Elizabeth. We are a field, not individual educators, we should create more opportunities for ourselves to expand our knowledges and experiences. Great Post.
