Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

This weeks assignment is to list three international organizations or communities of practice that appealed to me.

1. Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI): www.acei.org - The mission of ACEI is to promote and support the optimal education and development 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. It seems that the ACEI does great advocacy work for children. However, I was unable to find open positions with the organization.

2. Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), Division for Early Childhood (DEC): www.dec-sped.org - The Division for Early Childhood promotes policies and advances evidence-based practices that support families and enhance the optimal development of young children who have or are at risk for developmental delays and disabilities. DEC seems to do a great job in mainly offering fact based information to support families. That is a major area that seems to lack assistance from professionals. The division for EC has a post doctoral position available, but no other jobs were listed.


3. World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP): www.omep.org - OMEP is an international, non-governmental and non-profit organisation concerned with all aspects of early childhood education and care. OMEP promotes and studies ECE. In addition, the organization encourages training and family education. No job opportunities were currently available.

  1. Shayla you listed some great organizations and I am going to check out more thoroughly the ACEI website to find out more information about them. I had looked at them previously and found them interesting. Thanks for reminding me about them.
