Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

           
            Looking for communities of practice is a good start that helps me to know more about all the different services that are available for children and families. These agencies are providing many different services that parents and advocators need to move forward to achieve their vision and goals in their particular cases.  

            The first agency that I will discuss is Children’s Residential Intensive services. The Children’s Residential Intensive services (chRIS) is a full services partnership program implemented by DBH in close collaboration with child and family services (CFS). This agency is a mental health clinic that provides children with different services based on their needs. Also, it is providing the service to the parents because its homes function with two independent contracts. So these agencies provide a multi-faceted treatment approach. More, it is the implementation of a full-service partnership. So this agency stood up for me to speak up for these children by involving parents to attend workshops throughout this agency to show them how their children need their support by listing to them and agree to involve and attend these services.  

            The another agency is Children’s Mental Health and Emotional or Behavioral Disorders Project Inspiring Opportunities, so this agency has a particular service and support for a child with mental health and behavioral disorders to succeed in the school environments, including the general education classroom. This agency will help guide parents and teachers and individual education teachers to adapt to school expectations. So this agency stood out for me because they work with mental health disorders as a health issue without discrimination based on age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, economic class, or ethnic background. Also, this PACER publication provides strategies to communicate more effectively with school staff and parents about their child challenging behaviors. On the other hand, it provides parents and educators by include questions to help parents to understand their child and their behavior issues.
           
            The third agency is Loma Linda University Behavioral Health. This agency is a cadmic school that has a lab to study how these issues are affecting children's education in the future. This agency is working with children from an early age in many different areas to strengthen children and strength in innovative therapies to not suffer in silence. More, Loma Linda University Behavioral Health center leads the region in mental health treatment, and their different programs and resources centers will help me to get all the information I need. Also, they have different workshops that parents can attend to understand their children's needs by addressing all the side effects of health issues.
           
            I applied for a new position at Head start as a teacher three that couching teachers, preparing and organizing different workshops for parents and their families. This position is an excellent start to interact with parents to focus on my challenge issue and focus through it on my social change issue. By Communicating with parents by focusing on their children's struggles and show them where they have to fight for their children's rights instead of denying these issues without recounting how it will affect their children's education and development.

Meaningful NAEYC Ideals to My profession The Three Ideals in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to my profession are. * “To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.” Every child is a treasure. To look, seek, and dig out the quality values that every child has. Every child is capable of blooming in different timing which makes every child unique and special. As a teacher I deal with children based on their potential by nurturing and care with patience and love. Children need time to meet and know their ability and capacity of learning.         ** “To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.” Family is the key of love. When every family feels the need to be in the program to participate in different activities throughout the year that will lead and gain benefit and enjoy in the program. Every family member is a part of the program and to make it succe...

Access to healthy water Access to healthy water is vital to human life itself; so the impact it has on a developing child is of immeasurable size. In fact, a child with no access to healthy water will no doubt become sick. Once the body is troubled with an unhealthy source of water, it will lack the nutrients required for other organs such as the kidney, heart, and brain. Once these deductions become a problem, signals are sent to the brain to help dissolve these problems. However, if the brain is not able to focus on learning and development, the child will constantly fall behind in development and in other categories such as motor skills. An example of this comes from the country of Yemen, where fresh water is extremely scarce. In fact, only about 25% of the population has access to clean water; this means that child development is a huge struggle within the country. Although the conservative culture of the country inspires its children to be tough and to pursue education no m...

Sharing Web Resources

Global Fund for Children “ We support education from children’s earliest years to secondary school and on through university or vocational training.”    ( The Global Fund for children) The website has the same agendas in the field of education for the youth. Through working together to help end the lack of education, the fund focuses on beating poverty and similar issues through education. It sees education as a means of success, as we do here as well within the course. In order to be successful and be better off than their families, the children are provided with tools for education. Once this education is received, they can get out of the poverty and shambles they are currently in. For us, we can help students here do the absolute same. On the website, it says that “we advise, mentor and guide our partners”. This is a bit shaky because it does not look like this is a relationship of partners. Personally, this global fund is the hand on the top; the ...
