I like this organization as it is a tool for professionals
to connect with other professionals in the early education field. This can
provide educators with many valuable resources and insights into how to improve
early education.

This organization would be beneficial to research efforts or
just for information regarding education topics. It also has information of policies
and ways to improve economics and well-being of people around the world.

ReplyDeleteYou selected there great international organizations.Like Talae the Save the Children Organization was very dear to my heart because it coincide with my challenge. It is my desire to build partnerships with families so that we can provide quality learning experiences to their children.
Hello Tabitha,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. While I am familiar with Save the Children, I was unfamiliar with International Step By Step Association and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD). I think these are two organizations I am interested in learning about, ecspecially the International Step By Step Association as it is a way for educators to network with each other.
