Part 1: Why did you choose this specialization? When I decided to make the decision to apply for my Masters Degree I was uncertain into which program/specialization to study. With the assistance of the enrollment specialist  at WU, Mr. Rupp explained to me the differences in the courses. Mr. Rupp and I talked like for weeks in regards with me becoming at student.  When I researched Public Policy and Child Advocacy I knew I want to be the voice for the children- I speak up for everyone anyway, but I wanted to learn how these policies are developed and approved.  I wanted to educated myself about Public Policy to see how this will affect my profession, livelihood, and most important the children.




Part 2: Why are advocates essential in the early childhood field?
 Advocates are essential in the ECE field because we are the building blocks of the foundation. Without advocates in the ECE field, who will represent us? Advocates keep the children/families, educators, communities, and politicians informed and involved in the early childhood field.




  Part 3: What do you hope to learn about public policy and advocacy? 
 I hope to learn about public policy and advocacy the detail in which how policies are created, the duration it takes for the policies to be heard and become into law. I also want to learn new techniques on how to advocate for the children. Learning new terminology in the ECE field will not only educated myself but also I can educated my community, children and families.
