Getting to know your International Contacts - Part 2
I still have not heard from my international contact so I decide to take the alternative blog assignment. I research the Harvard University's Global Children's Initiative. The first part of the website that I like was the multimedia area on Five numbers to Remember about Early childhood Development. This media lets you know early childhood programs are important in our children lives. 700 neural tells you about the brain development at birth to 2 years of age. 18 months selection lets you understand the language development skills of a child. The third selection let you understand the risk factors of a child with developmental delays. The fourth section discuss health issues that can affect a child up to an adult years. The last issues discuss why to invest in early childhood programs. The second section that I like is the Tools and guides area. There are guides to help with decision making and self-regulation. These reports can help a teacher to master skills to help with the advancement of their classroom. The articles and book selection of the website gives you plenty of resources that will help an educator to advance in the early childhood field. This selection goes from stress to disparities in health.

For my contacts I was unsuccessful with getting feedback as well, so I explored the Harvard University Global Children's Initiative site as well. The brain development is something that I find interesting to read, and explore! I also found on this site helpful the articles regarding the disruption in development such as a child growing up in poverty, will cause disruptions in the growth process that will cause harm to the child as the child continues growing! The article also discussed that a child or adult who was had disruptions in the growth process will most likely become a dropout of school, and have relationship issues growing up! I found this information to be very interesting. Thanks Machelle for the helpful feedback!
I had trouble establishing contacts as well and I looked at the Harvard Initiative as well. As educators we tend to overlook the essential growth factors that impact a child's learning. Awareness is always a good thing to have especially in our chosen field. Great post!
