As I began to research what is really out there in terms of Early Childhood resources it became clear to me that the list was almost never ending! I created a new section on my blog to begin developing a useful list. In addition to the resources I used for the Week 5 assignment, I included several resources I use on a regular basis. The Office of Head Start is very generous in providing publications and books on a regular basis. A comprehensive web site is kept up to date and is a good way to remain current with information specific to Head Start. I find the following resources very helpful:
NHSA Dialogue- A Research to Practice Journal for the Early Intervention Field
Early Childhood learning and knowledge Center web site- http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc
Exchange- The Early Childhood Leaders Magazine.
In our ever changing field, having access to up to date research is critical. Building a comprehensive list of a variety of sources of information will certainly make it easier to be informed.
Judi,
ReplyDeleteYou are right that there are endless resources out there. It is important that we as educators are able to organize the different resources that we find. I have mind divided into resources I need now, and resources I might need in the future. It helps me to not get bottled down with so much information.
I agree with you that we must make sure that any resource that we are using is of current research. Great point!

Thank you Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteI also think we need to pay attention to the quality and credibility of resources.

Judi,
ReplyDeleteMy list of resources was overwhelming for me. I am now in the process of sorting through them and making sure that I make them accessible. This blog is a great way to do it because most of my resources are on the web and I can just click on the link.

Judi,
ReplyDeleteI too found it a little overwhelming with all of the resources out there. What I have discovered is, once you find reliable resources, keep using them. Your resource list will always continue to grow. Thank you for providing your useful resources!
