Sharing Web Resources

I chose an international website to view/study. At first, I was in contact with a European native, but as of now, I have a hard time staying in touch. From viewing the website, the information was very much different. The teachers/administrators viewed things very differently from the United States. They do not administer tests as frequently as we do. They do not consider testing a must do. Reason being is because they are busy teaching the basic things instead of the more advanced things. I understand the concept in a way, but I also believ that they should see where the children stand academic wise. They may have a slow learner, if they continue with their routine, how would they know the student is a slow learner? Economists support the early childhood field by trying to lend out funds to several schools to advance their education, bring in new equipment, etc.

Establishing Professional Contacts

This week, I've been communicating with two educators outside of the United States. One of whom is from Europe, and the other who is from Haiti. The European Belorussian Parents and Teachers League was developed for parents and teachers to come together and learn new things concerning education. Parents can stay involved and participate in several events throughout the school term. I find this very beneficial because a big problem here in the United States is the lack of parent involvement. Some parents are too busy working or either just too lazy to come out and support their child's education. The Step by Step program in Haiti conducted by Dominique Hudicourt is also a wise choice. This program monitors children individual movements, etc.
