About Me
- ncouragingminds~
- Hello welcome to ncouraging minds my name is Tarsha. I am passionate about early intervention, parent education, and providers/teachers who serve young children. I enjoying conducting educational seminars and helping participants gain new knowledge. Most importantly I gain the most satisfaction from "light bulb" moments that participants have in my seminars. Being a lifelong learner and seeking opportunities to grow and develop have become dear to me. I enjoy quiet time, beaches, and time with loved ones. I am the proud mother of two children, and wife of my college sweetheart.

Exploring Roles in the Early Childhood Community
NAEYC Professional Preparation Standards:
http://www.naeyc.org/ncate/files/ncate/file/faculty/Standards/NAEYC%20Initial%20and%20Advanced%20Standards%203_2012.pdf
NAEYC has been an intricate component of my professional development since my undergraduate studies. I have found them to be a great resource for myself as well as to the professionals who work in day care centers who are seeking opportunities to increase the overall quality of their program as well as guidance and direction regarding the professional aspect of early childhood education in the 21st century. The professional standards serve as a tool and or guide for practitioners in the field who are seeking to establish and or enhance professional development initiatives.
The employment opportunities associated with this organization (NAEYC) include but are not limited to professional development coach, professional development coordinator, community college instructor/advisor.
NC Infant Toddler Program: http://www.beearly.nc.gov/index.php/
The NC Infant toddler program interests me due to their commitment to providing early intervention services that are designed to change the course of children with disabilities. As a habilitation specialist you get the opportunity to work with the parents as an advocate, while creating solutions and coordinating services for children ages birth to three.
NC Institute for Early Childhood Professionals: http://ncicdp.org/about-us/
The NC Institute for Early Childhood Professionals is a non-profit organization committed to increasing the education and compensation or early educators working with or on the behalf of young children ages birth through twelve in early childhood educational settings. This initiative has been vital to my professional development, and has afforded me several opportunities to expand my experience in the field and to grow as a professional by participating in professional development opportunities.
Some applicable skills might include the following: the ability to perform multiple, highly complex, technical tasks with a potential need to upgrade skills in order to meet changing job conditions. Specific skill-based competencies required to satisfactorily perform the functions of the job include: operating standard office equipment including using pertinent software applications; performing standard bookkeeping; planning and managing projects; preparing and maintaining accurate records; effective listening and communication; facilitating meetings; guiding others; instructional techniques; problem solving; record keeping; and training.

Hi Tarsha,
ReplyDeleteIt seems that most of the organizations have only a few job opportunities available at the time. I also did research on NAEYC and I view the Zero to Three website as well. I am going to keep reviewing these sites to learn more about what they offer in the early childhood education program. I was very impressed with NAEYC stand on making sure that lawmakers and policy agents work collabaratively with other organizations as well as themselves to ensure that children are treated fairly and equally in order to receive high quality education regardless of race, gender, religion, and class, etc. These are great resources and hope you find information that will be beneficial to you as you stated.
