This week I got the opportunity to further explore the Center for the Child Care Workforce (CCW) website. They provide a lot of outside links that are really helpful, most of which are regarding rules/regulations/laws in the child care industry. They also have links to educational sites and child advocacy groups. Many of the resources that I use daily as a preschool director, such as the website for NAEYC, Zero to Three, and NACCRA are listed on the CCW website.
I chose to take a deeper look into the News to Use tab on their webpage and looked at Latest News. It led me to an article in American Educator titled The Economics of Inequality. It also led me to the CCW newsletter, which I didn't realize that they had, from May/June 2011. This tells me that this website is no longer active/relevant since they do not update their information. This is really unfortunate because I enjoy this organization and appreciate what they stand for.
While the information on the website is not current, I still find it to be a very good resource. The links that it provides contain some excellent resources for early childhood education professionals. And in the News to Use section of the site, there are some superb articles. There are several articles regarding the standards of preschool, incorporating Pre-K into the public school system, and a very good NAEYC article about the importance of quality preschool education.
Hi Cassie,
ReplyDeleteDespite their not upgrading the site, those article topics seem interesting and worth exploring. And I think they've got interesting outside links too.
Thanks for the resources! Too bad the site is not active/current but even "old" information can be useful.
