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.
