Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

The Three international organizations or communities of practice that appealed to me are: United Nations Children Funds (UNICEF), Save the Children, and Academy for Educational Development.

The reason I chose UNICEF is because this organization protects and defends the rights of every young child. I also love that this organization because it has spent years working to improve the lives of children and their families. All children have rights to fulfill their highest potential to make the world a better place to live (http://www.unicef.org/). My second chose for an international organization that appealed to me was Save the Children. The reason I chose this organization was because they invest in childhood everyday. They also give children the opportunity to learn and be protected from harm are danger. I feel that every child deserves a healthy start and this organization makes sure that they save children lives and for the well being of their future Retrieved from (http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6115947/k.8D6E/Official_Site.htm). The third international organization that appealed to me was Academy for Educational Development(AED) because they stand for making a positive impact on people's lives to create and implement solutions to critical problems. AED aims to strengthen the environment for a positive development. I love that AED is a nonprofit organization working globally to create solutions to issues in health, education, social and economic development (http://www.aed.org/en/index.htm).

A job opportunity that I found, on an international level that I am interested in is: U.S. Field Base Position working with local and national partners to implement programs in Early Childhood and Education, Literacy, Nutrition, and Exercise.The main function of this job is to implement the development of appropriate strategies to achieve Literacy, Writing, and all other developmentally appropriate subjects in early childhood. Most of the skills and experience that I would need to competently fulfill this role I already have especially knowledge in child development and 8 years of experience in the early childhood field. I am confident that I can carry this job out and obtaining my master's will also prove my knowledge in the early childhood field.
