The National Headstart Association is an organization
that has always appealed to me because of the advocacy for children in early
learning programs. When I first started this journey I observed a Headstart
classroom where the children were learning through a creative learning
curriculum those children were so vibrant and really enjoyed school. The
teacher really enjoyed her children and was so very passionate about her work.
There were no current positions available at this time at this organization.
Zero to
Three is an organization that appealed to me when I became a mother twelve
years ago I was given information about this nonprofit organization by my
OBGYN. This organization offers information for parents offering resources on
early child care and day care centers. They offer brochures and guides on
information for early learning. I would
often go to this website for tips and help with just being a new mom and not
knowing what to expect. They cater to infants, toddlers, and families. They
currently have a position of Senior Research Analyst that interests me this
position supports research and evaluation projects throughout the whole
organization this sounds like an interesting position since this position would
have you involved in many things this interests me due to this would be a way
to be involved in all aspects of the organization. Skills and experience needed
to perform this job include strong knowledge of program evaluation and social
science research methods, experience using quantitive analysis and conducting literature
interviews.
The United Methodist Family Services (UMFS) is an
organization that I found in my quest to find employment they are a nonprofit agency
who offers several programs to meet the needs of high-risk children and parents
helping them to overcome difficult circumstances helping them to succeed in
life. They assist them with social services needs and create partnerships to
address them. This organization’s vision is to “create a world where caring,
opportunity and generosity are
passed on from generation to generation — empowering all children to contribute
to society as engaged citizens.” There is a position available for Instructional
Specialist this position provides behavior
support and management, instructional delivery, and liaison support at the
direction of the teacher and the Principal by performing the following duties. Some
of the skills needed to perform this job include professionalism, excellent
organization, and communication, work as a team player and individually.
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the new resources! I knew about Zero to Three but had completely forgotten about it, and it is an excellent resource! So thank you for reminding me of that one. Now I have bookmarked it on my laptop so that I don't forget about it again. :-)
Also, I was not at all familiar with UMFS. I'm so glad that you found a local resource. Good luck these next few weeks, I feel like we're going to need it!
Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughts and insights this week. I enjoyed reading your blog and the three organizations you chose. The United Methodist Family Services (UMFS) sounds like a great organization that helps children and their families. I like that they meet the needs of high risk children and parents helping them to overcome difficult circumstances helping them to succeed in life. Zero to three is a great organization; I found this organization a few courses ago and I really like how they help children and their families.
