Establishing Horizons & Expanding Resources

Hi guys,

I believe I was a little confused on the blog assignment for this week.  I read the assignment and thought that I knew what I was doing, so here we go.   I reached out to 2 different Early Childhood Education Professionals.  Each were different professors.  One professor was from University College in London and the other was from University of Melbourne in Australia.

 I wrote the following email, and hoped for the best.

Hello,

My name is Alisha.  I am a graduate student at Walden University majoring in Early Childhood Education.  I am writing you as apart of my assignment in my Trends and Issues in Early Childhood Education Course.  I am seeking other Early Childhood Education Colleagues to get their perspectives from around the world.  Your participation through email will assist in the completion of this course and my career.  I would like to reach out to you a few times to get your professional expertise on a few topics. 

Can you start by answering the following questions?

·      What do you view as the biggest challenge within the field of Early Childhood Education

·      What led you to the career of education

·      What has been your most rewarding moment during your career thus far

Thank you for your time, and I hope that you can continue to assist me in my career through Early Childhood Education.

Regards..  

I received one email back stating that she was not a early childhood educator, but an elementary.  I was surprised, because I looked at her bio to confirm their fields.  Oh well... I guess I will reach out to another person.... So I guess I am still at 1.5

I have chosen the Harlem Children's Zone as my organization.  I love the way the company has impacted so many people.  It is amazing the progress they have made, and the lives they have changed.
