Exploring Roles in the ECE Community

Louisiana Educators Association (LAE), This organization keeps in touch with what law makers and the school board are trying to do. They fight to make sure that teachers are treated fairly. Like this Wednesday, they are organizing a protest at the state capital to fight to new laws that are being proposed about teachers and education. One law in particular is to take a teachers certification if someone feels that they are not meet standards.

National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an organization that fights for the rights of children. I have been a part of this organization since college. NAEYC keeps me up to date with new research and breakthroughs in the early childhood field.

National Council of teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) is an organization that I belong to. They have a local conference every year that talks about the latest trends in teaching mathematics. I love to attend and find out new techniques.

A job that interests me currently is a Childcare Worker Trainer. In this job I would be responsible for doing professional development training for workers at childcare centers. To be qualified for the job I would have to take yearly trainings to be up to date on material. I need to have at least a year of working with children under the age of six. A master’s degree in the early childhood field is also a requirement for a higher level trainer position.

  1. Undrea,
    I believe that being a childcare worker trainer is a great job . You would take part in professional development of daycare centers and educate teachers on how to meet the needs of their learners better.
