The website I have
chosen for this blog assignment is the Early Childhood Australia site. I have
found approximately 57 current international research topic on the Early
Childhood page in support of this assignment. While on the websites I have topics such as: mental
health, education and families’ health and well-being.
I have learn since
visiting this Early Childhood Australia website that there various links of
resources for parents, educators and professionals. There is also a portion on
this website that is called kidsmatter is setup different part of the region,
which is geared to collaborative partnerships between people who possess a
wealth of knowledge and passion about early childhood.
Here are some more topic and description of current issue
relating to early childhood:
The Technical Assistance Center on Social Emotional Intervention
for Young Children (TACSEI) promotes evidence based practices that improve
the social-emotional outcomes for young children with additional needs and
develops free resources to support ECEC services, schools, families, community
services and policy makers apply these best practices in the work that they do.
Mental Health and Wellbeing in Australia provides
information on the Australian Government’s role and contributions to mental
health reform activities in Australia. The site is maintained by the Australian
Government agencies with responsibility for implementing these reforms.
Early
Years Learning Framework (EYLF) has been developed collaboratively by
the Australian and State and Territory Governments and describes the
principles, practice and outcomes essential to support and enhance young
children’s learning from birth to five years of age, and their transition to
school. The EYLF is part of the Council of Australian Government’s (COAG)
reform agenda for early childhood education and care and is a key component of
the Australian Government’s National Quality Framework for early childhood
education and care.
Australian Childhood
Foundation is a national organization aimed at protecting children and
preventing abuse and violence. A range of useful resources for families
including information in a range of languages is available.
Other information that I
found was noteworthy was the Early Childhood Learning Hub. The learning hub are modules that include video and written
resources to help educators gain practical understanding of standards,
frameworks and research about quality practice.

LaTonya,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed reading your post on the Early Childhood Australia website, I too chose to explore this site. I thought it was interesting you noted 57 articles that could be correlated to our current studies. I found this website to be very informative as well, and thought it would contribute a great deal of substance as to what international early childhood websites and research offers to share. I loved how the website provided informative data and research for parents as well, which I believe could be applied to real life circumstances as opposed to just being a "study". I enjoyed reading about the information you extracted from website!
