Sharing Web
Resources
The outside link that I explored this
week is Early Head Start National Resource Center. This resource is directly linked to Zero to three organization. The
Early Head Start National Resource Center (EHS NRC) serves the Early Head Start
community by creating new resources and sharing information related to the
unique needs of infants, toddlers, and expectant families and EHS and Migrant
and Seasonal Head Start Programs. The EHS
NRC delivers training and professional development activities to staff and
sites nationwide. The EHS NRC focuses on three areas, which are Communication Systems
& People Networks, Knowledge Building, and Program Development
While going through Zero to Three website,
I explored new area that was in School Readiness Interactive Birth to three section
under Care and Education. It is a web-based, interactive
learning tool designed to help parents and caregivers support their young
children’s early learning. It has a lot of information on how children develop
the four key skills—language and literacy skills, thinking skills, self-confidence
and self-control—that are critical to later school success.
This week I
have received my first an e-newsletter and one of the issues that have
been focused on is Helping Your Child
Learn Persistence. It focuses on how children cope with frustrations and stick
with a difficult task. While children are born with a motivation to explore and
learn, it is persistence helps them accomplish their goals.
The new
insight that I gained during exploring Early Head Start National Resource is that
many immigrant parents mistakenly believe that in order to succeed in school,
it is better for children to abandon their home language and concentrates on
English.

I found your research on Zero to Three and Early Head Start to be very interesting. I also found that School Readiness Interactive Birth to Three section to be very informative and a great tool to use.
ReplyDeleteHi Bushra,
ReplyDeleteI have also enjoyed and used resources from Zero to Three. Thank you so much for the info on Early Head Start. I was impressed that it worked with families and educators. I like how the School Readiness is web-based and interactive as a resource for families. Thanks for sharing!

Great information! I am curious about the School Readiness Interactive birth to three tool and will have to check it out myself.
ReplyDeleteThe newsletter also sounds very interesting. Persistance is one of those things that children don't always learn naturally so it is important for parents to be aware of it.
