- When ask to connect with an international professional, it was hard getting replies. Professionaly the connection was not made. Other avenues were used to obtain data about international education trends. Through an international educator eyes we could have seen a more vivid picure but instead we used websites, articles and podcasts to find research.
- A lot of research was observed on the various early childhood programs internationally. Some of these programs were great. some needed more funding and more professionals to advocate for them.
- Wanting more time to learn ore in depth of the various tends we covered in 6162. Just do not think it is not enough time to cover such a vast area of education.
A goal is to continue to research international education and its trends, and to understand its complexity. From this research we can advocate for better education reform for the international education.
It has been a pleasure sharing blogs and discussions with such a great group of educators. Educators continue to prosper and share your knowledge along the way. I have gained so much knowledge fom you all as professionals. Thanks for a great eight weeks.
Sandra,
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to hear that you as well, did not make any international connections throughout this course. What forms of contact did you use to try and connect with professionals? I used online websites, but as well, was unsuccessful. I also stated in my blog post this week that it was hard from me to learn about educational programs around the world that are suffering even more than I see here in my community. I wish I could help all the early childhood programs!! Thank you for being an active member throughout the last eight weeks in this course. We had tons of opportunities to learn about the issues and trends within the field and connect with our colleagues. THANK YOU!
It is very disappointing to read that none of us made an international connection. I wonder why no one received a response, a language barrier? Email problem? It any case, I have decided that as a professional I will always respond to students who are reaching out. It was frustrating waiting for a response that never came.
