The website that I chose to explore was www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au.
This website gives us information on what Australia is doing in the early childhood
world. While going through this website I came across some of the research
topics in Australia. They have what is called “The Research in Practice Series”
which is an easy-to-read resource that offers new effective approaches for
challenging issues that may arise in the care and education of young children.
It is an essential resource for individuals involved in the early childhood
field.
Some of the topics that I came across and I
found interesting were, learning and
teaching through play, Diversity and difference: Lighting the spirit of
identity, Managing change with infants and young children, Young children as
active learners, Active children: Healthy now and later.
I found that this website was a wealth of
information that not only will help early childhood educators in Australia but
help educators all over the world. It was very much like the NACYE website in
that the information was clear and easy to understand. I also enjoyed the resource
theme page and the Every Child magazine. It provided a lot of great articles.
Naquetta-You and I picked the same website. I thought it was a great website and it reminded me a lot of the NAEYC website as well. I was really surprised they didn't have any position statements available though. It really seems like Australia is dealing with a lot of the same issues that the US is with early childhood education and care and it will be interesting to see how everything turns out.
ReplyDeleteHi Naquetta,
ReplyDeleteEarlychildhoodaustralia site is a good site. I visited the site many times in our previous course and I found it to be very rich and educative. It will surely help anyone interested in making a difference in the field of early childhood like myself. Thank you for sharing the information about their section on "Research in Practice series" I will have a look for my development as I perceive Australia to be a fully developed country looking at all issues based on research and practice.
