Growing a Collection of Resources
Additional Resources
This week’s learning resources included a video about the
trusted resources of several trusted early childhood professionals, position statements,
influential practices, global support for children’s rights and well-being,
selected early childhood professionals, and selected available professional
journals (provided by the Walden Library).
The additional three articles are
articles that I thought would benefit anyone currently working in or interested
in working in the early childhood field. Each article covers (what I feel) are
very important topics for early childhood professions; play in the early years,
child advocacy and children’s issues in child development, and effective
communication between families and early childhood staff.
