Sharing Web Resources

Unfortunately my web resource of choice has not sent me a newsletter yet but I did continue to explore the website.  The National Black Child Development Institute had something relevant to my current professional development.  In the early childhood section of the website it talked about the president of the organization, Carol Brunson Day, attending the speech President Obama gave at a middle school in Arlington, VA.  He was speaking about education funds not being cut at the federal level.  He wanted everyone to know that education is being supported at the federal level.  Obama wants to fix no child left behind.  President Obama says, "It's not enough to leave no child behind.  We need to help every child get ahead."

On the National Black Child Development website they have different initiatives listed.  One of the initiatives is literacy.  The NBCDI partners with Reading is Fundamental to offer an early literacy training program to early childhood educators to build their capacity and resources to develop and enhance early literacy skills of African Americans.  This made me think of early literacy in a new way because literacy is very important and it is important for the educators to be well trained in this area.

The only thing this website about the way a politician feels about is what I mentioned above about President Obama wanting to fix no child left behind and supporting education on the federal level.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't had any other new insights because parts of the website are under construction and I haven't received any newsletters yet.
