Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

I have looked into organizations that are in the United States that have to do with Early Childhood Education. Now I am going to be looking in to organization that work internationally. 

The first organization that I have chosen to look into is Save the Children. The reason I have chosen to look at this organization is because they invest in all children. Their main focus is children who are in crisis. They work all around the world but mainly in third world countries. They give the children what they need to become a healthy adult. Such as health care and education. I think it would be an amazing experience to work for them. A job posting that I found would be interesting is a Specialist, Program, Early Childhood Development. In this position I would have to support staff to make sure they are achieving the standards. I would have to rain staff. I would have to observe, coach and mentor staff at certain sites. I would have to collect data. I would have to communicate with the professionals above me. Those are just some of the main duties. In order to be hired for this job I would need a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. Though they prefer a Masters. Three years of experience with infant/toddlers. Experience as a trainer, as a home visitor and working with professionals. 

The second organization that I have chosen to look into is Association for Childhood Education International. The reason I picked this organization is because they want to share new approaches to early childhood professionals. They have different campaigns, programs and events to do this. Their main goal is just to promote early childhood education. 

The third organization that I have chosen to look into is UNICEF. I really enjoyed looking into this organization. They do a wide variety of work in the early childhood field. They work on child protection, children who are disabled,  child survival, education, emergencies,and gender equality. I cannot think if one thing that they do not help with. I feel it is great that their is an organization out there that helps with everything.

The fourth organization that I have chosen to look into is UNESCO. The reason I like this organization is because they work with all age groups. They have all different things they work for such as life long learners, literacy, teachers and women and girl's education. They seem to update their website all the time to stay up to date. 

The last three organization that I looked into some had job postings out of the United States. The other ones just has how to get involved.
