The three state and locally that appealed to
me were:
The Head Start program. This program appeals to me for the simple fact of reaching out to children in less fortunate backgrounds. The Head start program targets my passion for the simple fact of helping children that struggle and come from low economic states. The second organization that I found was the Louisiana Early Childhood Association. It is an association that is full of resources for teachers to collaborate together and gain insights that are beneficial in the classroom. The third organization that I chose was a local early headstart program. It targets children that are coming out of early intervention programs but who are to young to go directly into Head Start. These programs fuel my passion for the simple fact of giving each child a chance depsite their families economic status.

ReplyDeleteI have a passion for working with children from low socioeconomic status as well. How do you think a community of practice can best change the circumstances for at risk children and families?
Christina,
ReplyDeleteI feel that the community of practice can change the circumstances by coming together as a team with the common goal of helping these children succeed. The practices can link these children and families with needed , work one on one with the children in order to help them succeed in school, and also working with the parents to help educate them and provide parents with resources that they may need.
I hope you are finding your review of these organizations useful and can possibly use someone from them to include in your Community of Practice.
