"Getting Ready"

     My journey in locating an overseas professional in the field of early childhood was fairly easy! I have contacts all over ever since I left a training that had representatives from various parts of the world.

Part 1: "Establishing Professional Contacts"
     I located two professionals in the field of early childhood education simply by finding their information on a global e-mail roster on a military "Share Drive"and asking for their assistance via e-mail or text messages during my course study at Walden University; in which they are eager to oblige! The names of my contacts are Katrina Oliver located in Germany and Tiffany Lane located in Mexico.

Part 2: "Expanding Resources"
     I chose to select Zero To Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families as the early childhood organization from which I will gain knowledge and insight. I chose this organization because it is highly referenced in selected course article readings required in course work at Walden University and it has a newsletter.

     One helpful tip that I would like to share with my colleagues about this project is to select a web-site that captures your attention and one that you may be familiar with already.

  1. Shelita, I am glad you were able to establish contact so fast. I haven't heard from anyone yet, but will continue to pursue. Also, I agree that selecting organizations should capture your attention and have a plethora of resources within their website to explore.

  2. Shelita, that's awesome that your contacting has been fulfilled. I've emailed several and haven't heard anything back. Zero to Three is a great website, and I seems to use it a lot pursuing this degree. I totally agree with your last sentence, if the information isn't interesting to you, possibly you will suffer from boredom.

  3. Hi Shelita,
    It is great to see that your search was very easy! I know the advantages of military as well! Army Brat here lol!! I can only imagine the unlimited resources you have access too. Just like many others, my search hasn't been very successful yet but I've had at least one reply (yay!). Now I've got to start brainstorming on unique ways to find contacts.... Can't wait to see what you find!
