National Black Child Development Institute

After my week 6 assignment, I decided to do some research on NBCDI (National Black Child Development Institute).  I know that they would be advocates for EC equality and accessibility.  I am glad that I took the time to read through the site.  The organization advocates for children from birth to eight years old.  NBCDI works with federal, state, and local agencies to help low income children receive quality education, credible staff and educational support, support in creating developmental and culturally appropriate guidelines and lesson plans, and evaluations that appropriate for each level of education (https://www.nbcdi.org/what-we-do/early-care-and-education).

There are a variety of things that I have learned through looking through the site.  The organization supports seeking out talented trained educators and compensating .  Providing children with educators that are trained decreases the achievement gap especially for low income children.  NBCDI is in favor of creating a diverse staff and inclusion of school and community based educators (https://www.nbcdi.org/what-we-do/early-care-and-education).  The site as a whole was interesting and educational.  I hadn't heard of them, but decided to do some reading.
