EXPLORING ROLES IN THE ECE COMMUNITY

NPEN (National Parenting Education Network) is a community practice that I find very interesting because this organization is organize by Parents that helps other parent find useful resources in helping with their child development.  I like the core principal that speaks about strengthening families.
Job opportunities with this organization would be obtainable because they only have volunteers.  They helps parent connect with other parents with any concerns. The skill I need is being a parent that has compassion for children and wanted to see growth in a child.
Learning First Alliance appeals to me also. This community practice helps public schools by engaging individual and organizational expertise leadership and advocacy effort. (Learning first Alliance 2012)
This company represents more than 10 million people. Learning Alliance addresses many school issues. They find ways in solving school problems. There are no job positions available at this time. The company does have an office in Michigan.
NASET (National Association of Special Education Teacher) is a forum I would be interesting in joining when I am done with my classes. I would be able to connect with other teachers. This would also be good to be a part of if I decide to go into special education. They have job vacancies in special education teacher early childhood. I would need to be certified before I could get a teaching job.
