Final

It has been a pleasure to travel an eight week journey with each of you.  Throughout this course I have been enlighted on so many issues and trends related to early childhood education and care.  I have truly enjoyed reading and sharing information from my peers.

Also, it was a wonderful experience to learn about issues at an international level.  I chose World Forum Foundation as my international resource.  I learned from them how they deal with poverty, Children's Rights, and curriculum around the world.

World Forum Foundation provides information to help support families in poverty.  World Forum Foundation assures that funds are available for low-income families for childcare,  World Forum Foundation has established a World Forum Fellowship fund.  The funds are used to facilitate the attendance for early childhood education.

World Forum Foundation inspires, encourages, and supports the initiation of a Working Group of Children's Rights.  Their goal is to research the work of existing groups surrounding Children's Rights, determining the mission and goals for this Working Group and plan strategies for accomplishing these goals.

World Forum Foundation informed and taught me that they are a group of early educators, and along with others who focus on issues related to quality curriculum for young children.  The World Forum Foundation has been very committed to addressing issues with early childhood curriculum around the world.  They are working to recruit and continue to recruit group members from around the world, to develop clearly stated principles that will support early childhood curriculum.
