Capstone - Week 6 - International Agencies

This week we are charged with finding three international early childhood agencies that interest us.  Then we need to explain why they interest us and list at least one job opening in one of the agencies.

The first international early childhood agency that I found interesting is the World Bank Group because their mission is to work to reduce poverty.  Poverty effects so many children around the world and it is such an important topic for the field of early childhood.  The website is:

The second international agency that interests me is the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI).  They state their mission as follows:

"Our mission is to promote and support the optimal education, 

development, and well-being of children worldwide, 

and to influence the professional growth of educators 

and the efforts of others who are committed to the needs of children

 in a changing society. We have consultative status with the United Nations."


This is a mission I can support fully.  Their website is:

The last agency I found interesting is called Learn 4 Good.  It is an international job finding website for early childhood.  The link is:  http://www.learn4good.com/jobs/e/98136/employer/search/  

There are many jobs listed at that last site but I am more interested in local openings.

There actually is a director position open in a small town near my hometown.  The only requirement I do not meet is a minimum two year requirement for supervising people.  Officially (meaning a paid position), I have not supervised anyone.  This is the only area where I am not qualified for the position.  I still think I would apply if the timing was right.  The link for the position is: http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?Job_DID=JHS80M6ZHWR05TYVSWZ&siteid=CBSIMPLYHIRED&showNewJDP=yes&ipath=EXGOO
