- Be respected in the field of ECE by society( children and families and ECE professionals- we are not a babysitter), ECE salary/wages, and to continue in promote early childhood education.
- What special skills do you have that will contribute to your advocacy efforts? How will you incorporate these skills into your work?
- The special skill I have that will contribute to my advocacy efforts are my professional learning of early childhood, completing my Masters in ECE Studies, and the experience of being an Early Care Education Specialist. I will incorporate all my knowledge of education and professional work experience to my advocacy efforts in order to assistance children and families especially in my community.
- In what ways do you hope to grow in order to be a more effective advocate?
- The ways I hope to grow in order to be come effective advocate are studying the legislative aspect of current and new laws that could hinder early childhood education. I also would like to become a member of a nonprofit organization to advocate for early childhood education along with serving the children and families in the communities I resided in.

Brittney I definitely understand the sentiment that we are professionals and not babysitters. I think the more education and knowlegde we present to others we can definitely defend the notion of babysitter instead of educators. However the issue is when organizations do present themselves as educators but, carry out actions of babysitters o child watchers. This is what us professionals have to advocate against.
ReplyDeleteBrittney,
ReplyDeleteI have to concur with you in regards that we are not babysitters. My students use a teaching model preschool on our college campuses, one of my students is assigned to a classroom with a teacher who is barley doing her job as I listen to the daily activity in the classroom. Their is no lesson plan or lesson prepared daily, I have a hard time understanding why she is not called out on this by her director. what would you do when someone is representing our profession in a non professional way?
Brittney I agree with that we are not babysitter. We are educator and we need to be treat as so. I think we need to advocate more on the benefits that we bring to the field of early childhood education.
