Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

I have used The Global Alliance of NAEYC as a resource to get in touch with professionals outside of the United States. I looked into each website and chose certain people to email, with hopes of hearing back from them. So far I have tried to contact four individuals from Romania, Spain, and Canada and all attempts have been unsuccessful. I will continue to try to reach someone because I think it will be very interesting and insightful to talk with an educator outside of our country.
I chose to investigate the website Zero to Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families because I have read quite a few of their articles during my experience at Walden University. I have subscribed to some sort of electronic newsletter. The website seems very interesting. It contains information on child development mentally, physically, and emotionally in children from 0 to age three. I am really looking forward to looking more into this website and receiving their newsletters.

  1. Hi Arica, I was unsuccessful with contacting someone outside of the US too. Spain and Canada would have been a great resource to add to our discussion. I still hopeful that someone will contact me soon.

    Thanks,
    Andrea

  2. Hi Arica,

    I was also not able to receive any reponses back from any of the alliances, but Im checking my email daily hopeful that one will email me back soon. However, I like the information that you posted about Zero to Three, and it really does provide a lot of resources that focuses on infants and toddlers.

  3. Hi Africa:

    I see you have been experiencing challenges as well. Just as I told Shevia, just keep at it and something will come to pass. I am going to do the same thing. I'm waiting on some email replies myself...

  4. Hi Arica:

    It seems as if we are all experiences the same dilemma with our professional contacts. I hope everything works out for us and we receive responses soon. Zero to Three is an excellent website that I visit frequently, and I think you'll be impressed.

    Good Luck!!!

  5. Hi Arica,
    I have contacted the World Forum Foundation. I got an email to let me know that a representative will contact me. Hopefully, I will hear from them. I alo contacted the Global Alliance for Haiait. I ahven't heard from them yet. I also contacted Zero to Three. I too use them as a resource for my profession.
