What is Equity?

For my research project simulation I will be researching how equity effects early childhood education and the educators who work in the field. From a professional stand point this research effects me as I review staff requirements and pay rates. Personally, I feel early childhood educators need to be given more respect and offered more training within  the field. Although my overall focus is equity in the field of early childhood education the subtropics will be focused around educator requirements and standards of learning for children. This is a very broad beginning but I think with a little refining and suggestions for directions from colleagues this topic can be researched in depth.

Consequences of International Early Childhood Programs

After speaking with colleagues, i believe there are several consequences to learning about the international early childhood field. One is the idea that we are virtually unable to help those impoverished countries reach their goals in the classroom. This can lead to a positive consequence of changing goals to serve overseas in those countries that need help within the early childhood field. Another consequence can be a personal drive to join organizations to help those in need of help.

My personal goal is to contribute to missions that go to impoverished countries to help children. Working with my program to create care packages from the children here to children there.
