educational issues and concerns, advocate for improvements in the early
childhood field, provide a communication network, has many publications, and
cooperates with other national and international organizations concerned with
the study and education of young children.
NAECTE

teacher educators. Family Health Centers of San Diego is
in need an exceptional Child
Development Specialist to help us further their commitment to the community
and provide top-notch care to those who trust in their support. This position will significantly impact the

The National Head Start Association’s (NHSA) mission is to coalesce, inspire, and support the Head Start field as a leader in early childhood development and education. Their vision is to lead. To be the untiring voice that will not be quiet until every vulnerable child is served with the Head Start model of support for the whole child, the family and the community. To advocate and to work diligently for policy and institutional changes that ensure all vulnerable children and families have what they need to succeed. They currently have a few positions available in the Dallas, TX area. The position I am interested in the most is for an Early Childhood Center Manager. In this position I would plan, direct, and coordinate the academic and nonacademic activities of preschool and child care centers.
A professional organization that I
am very interested in is the High Scope Research Foundation which inspires
educators to inspire children. They are
an independent nonprofit research, development, training, and public outreach
organization. Their mission is to lift
lives through education. They envision a
world in which all educational settings use participatory learning so everyone
has a chance to succeed in life and contribute to society. They are currently seeking an Early Childhood
Specialist. They will be responsible for
providing educational leadership to the teaching teams and families of the
program. The Early Childhood Specialist will assure the implementation of the
High Scope Curriculum in the classrooms administer the Preschool Quality

For this position it is required for one to have a graduate degree in
child development, previous HighScope experience required, PQA reliable assessor
certification preferred, and a minimum of two years previous early childhood
