Learning Outcomes for Issues and Trends in Early Childhood Education

From the past seven weeks of blog assignments, I have learned a lot from my international contact and the website that I chose to study.
 I have gained  that no matter it is a developed or developing country, there exist concerning issues and trends in the early childhood field, such as poverty, diversity, inequity in care and education for children and families. In order to better improve the quality of early childhood care and education all over the world, one should make full use of resources and learn from others' advanced ideas as long as those ideas are for the good of children and families.
 I learned from my international contacts' ideas about excellence and equity of care and education for children and families is that high-quality programs definitely relate to supports from government, schools with resources available and accessible and with adequate funds, well-trained teachers, educated parents and family involvement. 
 I also learn from the websites is that I should stay informed of the new issues and trends of early care and education by keeping reading the website resources that this course has offered and collecting appropriate practices and methods that can be applied to our curriculum.
This course inspires me a lot and encourages me to set up a goal: to be an advocate for children and families. I will pay more attention to my community and focus on more related issues.
Thank you again for those who share their ideas, read my posts and comment on my posts. I hope we can learn more from each other in the following courses.

Your blog was very well organized and very helpful. I think that it's great that you found this to be so helpful in your professional field. I believe that if we would take more time to get to know about early childhood education in other countries we will be bringing something new into our world.
