Association for Childhood Educational International (www.acei.org)
Since class has started I have enjoyed gaining new information about ACEI. This organization has so many attributes. Also on their website it has so many sectors that give so much vital information. One of my favorite sections that are relevant to my profession as a daycare provider was the Global Gateway. In this section you can explore childhood education, preschool, and primary school around the world. There are six tabs that are listed within this section which list six places are: Africa; Asia and the Pacific; Europe; Latin America and the Caribbean; Middle East; and North America. One article that I enjoyed reading was entitled “Fostering Social Competence”. This article talked about different ways to promote team work in the classroom. In this article the teacher conducted a study that would help foster social competence. At the end of the study students learned how to work together without disruptive behavior. Some affiliations that contribute to ACEI are: NCATE; World Forum Alliance; and Global Campaign for Education. One major thing that I learned from this website is the “One Child per Family Policy” in China. This policy causes children to be abandoned on these streets. This issue in growing and causing many children to become orphans, especially the ones with disabilities. The Chinese government is working toward providing medical care, rehabilitation, and education to more than 65 million people with disabilities. This website keeps me updated on important information about Early Childhood programs and issues globally.
