Sharing Web Resources

I explored the Initiatives links on the National Black Child Development Institutes website.  In this link there are different subjects that you can choose.  The subjects are Child Welfare, Early Childhood Education, Education, Health and Nutrition, Literacy and Archives.  I looked through each of these links but I was somewhat unsuccessful.  Most of the articles and information were from last year and one section is under construction.  This site needs to be updated.  It still has March news up.  I signed up for a newsletter twice and I still have not received anything.  I enjoyed some of the information on the site but I am disappointed that it doesn't have more and that it is not kept up to date.  In the welcome section of the website it tells about the mission of this institute and it mentions equity and access.  It says how the community must play a pivotal role in equity and access in order for it to become a reality for our children. I also explored the section titled About then clicked news.  I read an article from January in The Wall Street Journal titled "The Lowly Child-Care Worker," which talked about how little a child care worker makes.  The mean hourly wage is $9.73 an hour, falling short of a coatroom attendants and short-order cooks, and barely outpacing dishwashers and burger flippers.  The article went onto say that higher pay is needed to keep good teachers.
