The National Institute for Early Education Research has a fantastic website with lots of tools and information to help anyone in the Early Childhood field. This website focuses on Preschool and hot topics in the early childhood field. Their are features for teachers, special education, English language learners, and an entire archive of publications and videos.
I have subscribed the their e-newsletter that is published three times a month. In the most recent publication, an article titled Selling Our Children's Birthright, discusses the nations extreme fiscal crisis and the proposition of cutting more funding for the early childhood field. The author, Steve Barnett, the -director of NIEER, references Thomas Paine's Common Sense, which "encouraged the populace to do the right thing in the face of dire threats to the Republic."
I enjoy this website for the no-nonsense attitude towards those who don't see the purpose or the future of Early Childhood education. We need organizations to stand up for us and fight for our children's right to a quality education.
Ooooohhh,I like your blog! The pictures are a nicely added touch. And thanx for talking about the ENewsletter "Selling Our Children's Birthright"...I think I'm going to read it myself.
