The next site that caught my attention was Save the Children. I personally feel that at any chance children didn't ask to be here but since that are the joy of our lives we should be able to allow them all the opportunites in the world to be successful. This is more of a 3rd world site so the had similar characteristics as the United Nations Childrens Fund. What I like about this site is that they give you an opportunity to save a child life so that they can have a chance. I really didn't look for any job opportunities with this site because the site alone help my interest.

My third and final site International Step by Step Association. One thing that got me with this website was the philosophy of the organization.
ISSA promotes open society values in education and society, equal access to quality education for all children, strong family involvement, and community participation to help every child reach his or her full potential. We believe that children learn best when they are active participants in the learning process. ISSA’s programs encourages children to express their ideas creatively, to help one another, to develop critical thinking skills and to practice responsible living by learning to make choices. We recognize that each child is unique and seek to meet his or her individual educational needs in the classroom. We build on the principle that parents are the primary educators of children and we strive for active parent participation and community involvement in the education process. ISSA aims to encourage democratic ideas and principles and actions within young children and their families. These principles are crucial to developing a life long love of learning, which engenders success in an open and free society. I feel that the philosophy alone is saying alot of what they stand for and in a way I see my similar philosophy within theirs as for as the care and concern for the children. I like their whole concept on wanting to encourage children to express their ideas creatively and to develop critical thinking skills and to practice them. That is one thing we are not allowing our children to do today without putting some type of label on them like their bad or they have ADHD, or ADD, or etc. They had no job opportunities on this site.

Rena,
ReplyDeleteI was interested in the ISSA website as well and could not find any job opportunities. despite not having opportunities I did learn things from looking at their website, and liked the message they offered.
I also feel that Save the children is a fantastic website. Children do not deserve the life they are given, as you stated they did not ask to be here. We need to provide as much as we can to those in need.
Rena, I also viewed the UNICF site and I found it very interesting when it relates to early childhood and the meeting of high quality care for children across the world. In addition, I did not see any jobs that were very interesting for my need but I would like to be a part of thier membership to keep up with news letters they offer monthly.
