Zero To Three

I chose Zero to Three website, because I find this site to be very beneficial.  It was one of my first go to resource sites when I began teaching headstart.  This site does have a monthly newsletter, but I am not subscribe to it.  ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that provides parents, professionals and policymakers the knowledge and know-how to nurture early development.  Their mission is to ensure that all toddlers and babies get a good start in life.

This site also offers a podcast series, Little Kids, Big Questions; this podcast series deals with common challenges that parents may face with their baby or their toddler.  This site is available to all parents and educators around the world. As far as this site being an aid to teaching a diverse classroom,  they have several articles on the importance of diversity in the classroom, all which are available in a PDF format.

Overall, this site is amazing.  As I stated before it is my-go-to site for anything. Whether it is behavior management, or offering suggestive tips to my parents, this is a great resource.

Global Connections

I was unable to establish a connection with someone, so I chose to review a newsletter from the World Word Forum website.  The article I reviewed was entitled "Honoring the Child's Voice and Design".  This newsletter gave a brief overview in allowing the children to share the responsibility with how they learn. Allowing the child's voice not only to be heard, but putting action with the child's opinion will show the child that we care about them and their thoughts.

I really do like the website Zero to Three.  I always find very useful information on this site, and most definitely encourage my colleagues to take a look at this site.  They have topics that cover behavior and development, maltreatment, care and education just to name a few.
