The three international or communities of practice that appeal to me are
Save the Children, Association for Childhood Education International, and
International Step by Step Association (ISSA).
Save
the Children is an “independent organization that reaches both children and those working to save
and improve their lives, including parents, caregivers, community members and
members of our partner organizations. They help save children’s lives, protect
them from exploitation and assist them in accessing education and health care”
(Save the Children, 2012). Currently in Education/Literacy and Child
Development in Africa have no job openings.
Association
for Childhood Education International is an “ACEI, a 501 (c)
3 charitable organization, is interested in sharing new approaches to the
education of children and ensuring that these approaches are delivered in ways
that enhance children's individual skills and abilities and provide
opportunities for success in life. ACEI is a global community of educators and
advocates who unite knowledge, experience, and perspectives in order to
exchange information, explore innovation and advocate for children”
(Association for Childhood Education International, 2012). Currently there are
no jobs available.
International
Step by Step Association (ISSA) “promotes equal access to quality education and
care for all children, especially in the early years of their lives”
(International Step By Step Association, n.d.). Like the organization
Association for Childhood Education International support quality education for
all children and believe that all children should have access to high quality
early education regardless of their family socio-economic status. Could not
find employment but can join the organization and each member would be
provided:
- “Professional development and
capacity-building
- Information-sharing and networking
- Technical support in design and implementation of ECD programs
- International advocacy
- Participation in joint projects
- Publications
- Annual conferences and other events (International Step by Step
Association, 2012).

Denice, I also found these organizations to expand my horizons of possible employment opportunities. One opportunity I was not previously familiar with is Fellowships. I noticed several international organizations offer fellowship opportunities such as Head Start, as well as http://www.fhi360.org/en/WorkingWithUs/Fellowships/index.htm.
ReplyDeleteDenice, these are all wonderful organizations. I am very interested in the ACEL organization. I think that has wonderful cause and would be beneficial to all educators. In response to Masha, how is fellowhip and internship different? Not familiar with the term.
