The End!

Throughout this course I have learned alot more than I expected about research. I have gained insights about equity in research as well as design models. Research takes alot of time and alot of searching for answers but in the long run it provides us with valuable information about many different subjects that we may never have known about. It gives us a guide to learn more than what we knew at the beginning about certain subjects. I have learned that when doing research it has to be valid and credible. While do research I need to find valuable resources that can help me learn more about whatever it may be that I am researching. During this course I did find alot of challenges along the way such as understanding some of the readings that we had to read. In a way some of the readings were like a second language to me. Learning about research was a new thing for me. It is not like I remember doing it back in grade school. I have learned that research can help me plan better for the students and families I serve by providing me with new information about certain subjects and the research will be my guide to helping others have a better understanding of whatever the subject may be. I want to wish everyone the best of luck and hope everyone has a BLESSED 2013.

Early Childhood Australia

Looking over this website I saw many interesting things about website. The website is almost similiar to the NAEYC website that I am familiar with. Comparing the two I found they are like in many ways. Both NAEYC and Early childhood Australia have the same common ground. They both want to serve children and give them the best learning experience possible. They both want high quality sytems, safe and accessible and quality education among their centers in Australia. They want to improve the professional practice and working conditions in early childhoodl. I found that childhcare services in Australia are committed to meeting quality standards and quality teachers. I see that as being similair here in Georgia. We are working on a quality rating system which will help us to work towards improving our centers and giving our children qualified teachers in the centers. This shows that all around the world we are trying to provice programs for the children we servce to the best. We want to give them the best learning experience possible and in order for this to be successful we have to work toward raising the bar in what we do in our programs. This website provided alot of the same type of information as the NAEYC website does. I plan on going back and reading some more on Early Childhood Australia and compare it to what we do in our programs here in Georgia.
