Part 1
I listened to the podcast of Dr. Barnabus Otaala, Dean of Education in Uganda. He talked about children with HIV and how after taking the child to the Dr to be diagnosed, the parents seemed to be more open to the Dr than the teacher in listening to what was going on the the child. Dr. Otaala wants a strengthened relationship between Educators, Doctors, and the parents.
Part 2
The resource I chose is The National Association for the Education of Young Children. (NAEYC)
This organization provides many resources for Early Childhood.
“The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a professional membership organization that works to promote high-quality early learning for all young children, birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and research.
