Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally
The three
internationally organizations that appealed to me and why I chose them are
1. Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)- I chose this organization because I am not familiar with this organization and I was eager to learn about this organization. The mission of this organization is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. The OECD and the government work together on issues that directly affect the lives of ordinary people. This organization would be beneficial to research efforts or just for information regarding education topics. It also has information of policies and ways to improve economics and the well-being of people around the world. One of their main focus areas is to increase rural children's access to physical activities and nutrition which is in line with my Capstone challenge to restore children suffering from sickle cell to the regular classroom. Career options that I saw were emergency responders, education specialists, monitors and evaluators. Most of the jobs require specialized training or a teaching license.

2. Save the Children is the leading independent organization
creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States
and around the world. Save the Children gives support when disaster strikes
with food, medical care, and education while remaining to help communities
rebuild through long-term recovery programs. Save the Children: This
organization provides hope for millions of children and families around the
world. They help families in times of disaster and provide relief,
recovery, and new developments. They work to provide education to children in
over 30 countries around the world that need education to survive.
The job position that
interested me with this organization is an Advisor. The Advisor will be
responsible for representing Save the Children in national forums and share
best practices regarding Save the Children's experiences in community-based
preschool education projects. The requirements are a Masters Degree in
International Education, Developmental Psychology, with a minimum of three years
experience in early childhood development, and strong understanding of
holistic child development and the ways children learn, including
early-literacy methodologies.
3. International Step by Step Association (ISSA) is a membership organization that connects professionals and organizations working in the field of early childhood development and education. The ‘ISSA’ promotes equal access to quality education and care for all children, especially in the early years of their lives. The ‘ISSA’ was established in the Netherlands in 1999, ISSA's network today stretches across the globe from Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia, Asia, and the Americas. While ISSA offers general membership and information sharing to all interested individuals and organizations. The ISSA's core members are the twenty-nine nongovernmental organizations located primarily in Central/Eastern Europe and Central Asia, that implement the Step by Step Program initiated by the Open Society (OSI) in Nineteen-ninety-four. Within its network, ISSA supports a wide array of programs that collectively provide a comprehensive set of educational services and advocacy tools intended to influence policy reform for families and children, with a special focus on the years from birth through primary schools http://www.isasa.nl/index.html. I like this organization as it is a tool for professionals to connect with other professionals in the early education field. This can provide educators with many valuable resources and insights into how to improve early education.
