Consequences of learning about the international early childhood field.
I have had the opportunity to learn about the field of early childhood education and care in other countries. This came through blog assignments and reading websites. There are three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field.
1. Research and Comparison
2. Communication
3. Career Opportunities
Goal
Early childhood leaders and professionals throughout the world will use the internet to communicate issues and trends and most importantly the proactive approaches to achieve high quality care and education of the world's children.

getting to know your International Contacts Part 3 Boozer Y.
I read the article about UNESCO and ideas or insights that I gained from this article "that it leads the international policy drive for an integrated early childhood care and education system that encompasses both the well being and holistic development of the child." I also learned that UNESCO works with member states to develop and strengthen their national capacity to meet their goal of working with the 2000 Dakar Framework for Action, where they aim to expand and improve comprehensive early childhood care and education for all. Some of their activities in early childhood focus on upstream policy work with the government officials to review and develop their National policies affecting children from the age of 0 to 8.
"They promote two useful planning strategies to address the early childhood needs for those under three years of age phasing and partnership. A phased plan can impel the education sector to eventually respond to the needs of younger children as part of its overall commitment to every childhood. partnership is another effective strategy. Social and health sectors are often more closely linked with families. If a partnership is developed with the family the care and education of the younger children will be addressed. between the years of 1970-1979 UNESCO began to be directly involved in the field of early childhood education in particular pre-primary education and parents education." By 1979 early childhood programmes was viewed beyond the scope of formal education. More emphasis was placed on establishing a comprehensive approach to early childhood and fostering on environment conducive to a child's learning and self expression. This led to the term Early Childhood Care and Education.

I did not find outside links but I did find another article that was entitled Being Black is not a risk factor: A strengths- based look at the state of the black child as the newest publication of NBCDI (National Black Child Development Institute) "This publication is designed to challenge the prevailing discourse about Black Children one which over emphasizes limitiations and deficits and does not draw upon the considerable strengths, assests and resilience demonstrated by our Children, families, and communities." This report also addresses the needs of policymakers, advocates, principals,teachers, parents and others.
In the coming years this publication will be extended by NBCI by working with affiliates and partners. The reports will accesses and adores the strengths and needs of Black Children an assist in the development of recommendations for a future research and state policy agenda.
I search the article entitled "Supporting Educational Excellence for African Americans Beginning at Birth which came from the NBCDI this article talks about how "ensuring that African American students grow up to become successful and healthy adults is to give them access to high- quality early education. To accomplish this the WHUEEAA ( White House Intuitive on Education Excellence) is working with members of faith and community based organizations and the early education advocacy community to raise awareness among parents and families about the importance of investing in children's well being during the critical early years."
The article Supporting Educational Excellence adds to my understanding of equity because their goal is to make sure that all African Americans students have access to high quality, early learning opportunities that could start as early as birth.
Other issues and trends that I gained this week is stated by Ackerman and Barnett, 2005 " that neither zip code nor skin tone should predetermine the quality of a child's opportunities. We should educate, motivate and inspire parents to excellence as their children's first and most important teachers through NBCDI culturally relevant and researched based curriculum.

The specific information that seems relevant to my professional development is the focus on cultural, ecological and structural forces that enhance minority children's capabilities in different domains, and across different development periods as well as identify pathways to positive development. That is defined as research that focus on adaptation and adjustment rather that maladjustment and adversity.
The idea/statement that made me think about an issue in anew way is being label "at risk" is like being voted least likely to succeed. For where there is no faith in your future success, there is no real effort to prepare you for it.
What information does the website contain that adds to your understanding of how economists, neuroscientists,or politicians support the early childhood they support by using achievement gap which is supported by data indicating the the gap begins prior to school, especially for young black boys. There are many reasons for the achievement gap, and many intertwined solutions. One of the most prominent suggestions is to focus not on the achievement gap itself, but on the opportunity gap that exists for black children and their families. However, this gap is deeply entrenched in the social political and historical contexts of the lives of black families and children since the enslavement period. Research is clear that parenting and family processes provide an avenue for successfully addressing the gap experienced by black children, yet it is critical that we ask how parents are supported in ways that are culturally relevant and strength based.
The other insights that I gained In examining the literature on what can raise achievement and close performance gaps, some other insights have been revealed. In addressing educational disparities, it is important to distinguish between two categories of reform activities,. Technocratic and transactional.
Technocratic solutions have clearly been one to which educational decision makers have most often subscribed. They entail changes in school proceedings, regulatory practices and structural factors around which schooling is unorganized. Examples of these reforms include extending the school day or the school year, reducing class size, actualizing school choices or reconstituting schools. Transactional solutions which concern efforts to optimize the learning exchanges that transpire inside the classroom and other learning settings between teachers , students, and among students themselves.

Getting to know your International Part 1 Boozer 1
I had to do the website of the childhood Poverty Research Policy Centre's http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/.
My research I looked into Identifying the "Bottom Billion: Beyond National Averages Multidimensional poverty: Enriching methadologies of measurement & policy.
Multidimensional poverty measures enable us to identify who is poor, how poor they are, and what policies will most effectively eradicate their poverty. This note has shown the importance of creating poverty measures that can be disaggreated in different ways: by subnational region and even down to the individual level.
Geography of poverty is changing and increasingly large number of the world's poor are living in Middle Income Countries. MPI is a direct measure of poverty and can be easily compared across subnational regions and indeed across individuals living indifferent countries. MPI uses the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys( DHS).
The multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) is a measure of acute multidimensional poverty published in the UNDP Human Development Reports for over 100 developing countries since 2010. Developed- Three Dimensions of Poverty are Healthy, Education, Living Standard.

The organization that I choose was National Black Child Development Institute and the link for them is:
http://nbcdi.org/
National Black Child Development Institute(NBCDI) "focus is on achieving positive outcomes for vulnerable children who suffer from the legacies of poverty and racial discrimination. The organization was launched by the Black Women's Community Development Foundation, whose leadership in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement, was deeply concerned about the unsatisfactory , conditions faced by families determined to raise healthy black children, by organizing NBCDI as a national advocacy group, they created a unified movement to develop strategies to improve the life circumstances of the Black Child through policy change."
I have also learned that "for 38 years, NBCDI was led by Evelyn K. Moore who got her start as a teacher in the ground breaking Perry Pre-School/High Scope Program, which became the model for Head Start. She has dedicated her entire professional career to improving out comes for our society's most vulnerable children. Her leadership was followed by that if renowned early childhood educator, writer and leader, Carol Brunson Day who led NBCDI from 2007 to 2011. NBCDI's current resident and CEO is DR. Felicia DeHaney."
NBCDI'S future is about growth and sustain ability, forging new boundaries and promoting strengths based programs and policies that lift up our children in the context of their families, communities and cultures.
Quote from Evelyn K.Moore,NBCDI President Emeritus, 1972 said that "Quality programes for black children must incorporate factors that ensure esteem and respect for one self and one's hertiage."

Getting Ready-Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources Assignment week 1 Boozer Y.
With my contacts I have tried to reach out to them through writing an email to them and giving them my email address and my blog address. I am still waiting to here back from them.It could be a time difference. At first I did not understand the assignment and it took me awhile to get the understanding of what I was suppose to do. I found that the first email that I tried came back with a message that it was not a good email. So I changed to some one different and both of the emails I sent went through. Right now I am hoping that I will not have to use the alternate route.
The organization that I chose to study is the National Black Child Development Institute. I chose this one because I am always interested in information about black children because we are treated a little different, and society try to make black children seem like they do not know much about anything. But we do know and we know a lot. This study will also help me to understand critical and timely issues that directly impact black children and their families.

Testing for Intelligence Assignment 2 wk 6 Boozer.Y.
There are many reasons why children undergo assessments, among these is the desire to know how well children are learning, if they are making progress and meeting proficiency bench marks, and if they are being taught effectively. Data from assessments provide valuable information for planning whole-group and individualized instruction for determining program quality, and for communicating with others. Assessment practices encompass a range of instruments and techniques including structured one-on-one child assessments, standardized assessments, portfolios, rating scales, and observation. Comprehensive assessment is based on information from multiple sources, including measures that provide different types of information.
I found out that the ways in which school age children are assessed in Macedonia are nutritional, his or her height, body weight
"The term National Standards refers to the principles that guide practice to promote quality in education. In early childhood education., standards are outlined by two key organizations: the National Association for the Education (NAEYC) and the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children. Both NAEYC and DEC recognize assessment as a central component of Early Childhood programs and prescribe its use for a variety of purposes.
NAEYC recommends that assessment be used for decision-making regarding teaching and learning, identifying children's needs, and improving eduction and intervention programs (NAEYC 2005). likewise, DEC recommends that assessment provide information that is useful for intervention. (Sandll, McLean & Smith, 2004)."

wk 4 Consequences of stress on children's Development Boozer Y.
My dad was in the Korean War when he was in the army. He saw a lot of his battalion get killed or hurt. His best friend got his leg and arm blown off right in front of my dad and he was the one that saved him. I think my dad coped with it pretty good I do not know because he never stated how he coped with it. But he and his best friend remained as best friends until my dads death. The two families became very close we would go visit them and they would come and visit us. The best friend continued to check on us and made sure we did not need any thing after my dads death. I am sure that my dad had to get some type of help or had to talk to someone about the trauma he had faced. But again I am not sure.
Mali is the country that I choose to find out what kind of stressor(s) that impacted the development of children. "Post- Trauma stress disorder(PTSD) is reported to be common among refugees of Malian Refugees in Burkina Faso. After the rebellion of Northern Mali in 2012, hundreds of thousands of Malians are sheltering in camps in Niger, Burkina Faso and Mauritania, having fled the North of Mali after it was seized by Islamist rebels in 2012 or the South or the South of Mali far fear of relaliation from other ethnic groups." (Clinical Practice and Epidemology 2013).
The vast majority of the refugees in these refugee camps were woman, children and elderly people of the Tuareg ethnic group. Many of the refugees had witness the violent death of a loved one or had received first hand details about the violent death of a loved one.
"These results indicate important psychological suffering in a vulnerable population whose conditions of absolute poverty have been exacerbated by the recent war. These conditions in this geographical area were rarley described and have never received humanitarian aid. Immediate steps are required to give legal and humanitarian protection to those who are forced to flee their homes and cross international borders because of the crisis. Lon-g-term outcomes need to be explored so that appropriate interventions ar put in place on both the short and medium terms." (Clinical Practice and Epidemology 2013).

Child Develpoment and Public Health Y.Boozer
I chose the public health of immunization and this is important to me because it can help children from potentially deadly diseases and it saves children lives. Immunizations help to keep children healthy. Immunization also prepares a child's body to fight illnesses.
I chose India as my country in another part of the world and travelers who are traveling to India must have their routine vaccines which are measles, mumps, rubella, Muir ,dipthteria, tetanus, pertussis, vermicelli, chicken pox,polio and yearly flu shot. The CDC recommends that you get the Hepatitis A because you could get hepatitis from the water or food. Typhoid you can get from contaminated food and water. The vaccination for India Children are carried out under the Universal Immunization Program.
Ways this information that I have learned may impact my future work is that if children didn't get vaccination ed they could die or spread infectious diseases and could start an epidemic so without immunizations all kinds of dangerous things could happen and children would not be able to come to the center and if children did not come then I would be out of a job.

Childbirth in my life and around the world Yolanda Boozer
I do not have a child birth experience of my own because I do not have any children of my own. But ai do remember when my cousin's wife had her baby. I do remember them (the Doctors and nurses) that she waited to long before she asked for medicine so they could not give her any. she had to have a twelve pound baby natural. I got caught in the room doing the delivery and I was so excited as if it was me.
Region Middle East- Turkey- Birth is the first f the turning point in life it is almost required as a happy time, in Turkey it also increase the respect for women. The Father has confidence in the future with a child and gains respect among relatives and friends. A childless woman is scorned and the male feels the same way. Birth gives the mother an identity and completes her. There are some transition customs and ceremonies that accompany birth and the and the phases connected to it.
"One of the most important transition phases in birth, the origin of life, is tradition and custom. Certain traditions women must abide by are: there must be a desire to want to be come pregnant, the mother is encourage to abide by hundreds of processes imposed by belief and religious customs,magical rituals, starting from the women which to conceive." (Turks Culture).
Before Birth- customs, traditions and beliefs focus on avoiding infertility, conception, cravings, pregnancy, determine the child's sex, and things pregnant women are to avoid
Conception: customers or measures they have to practices of popular medicine , methods of medical treatment.. 'during pregnancy - women who have just had a children and pregnant women are consider to be unwell and treated accordingly. She has to play a particular role. The pregnant women maybe described as "yuklu"( (loaded), ijican h (with twins), aAcir a yak*(slow footed) ,koynudolu (full bossomed).
boajrudolu (full breast) or guzlaci."
Traditional ways to sex of the child; the physcial apperence of the women, the food the women has consumed, the attitude of the woman, the length of time the child moves in the womb, the term of birth pains.
Now a days they use modern medical methods. The pregnant women has , forms of behavior that they are expected to avoid: No looking at bears,monkeys, camels no eating fish,rabbit, sheep heads, trotters and not chewing gum. not attending furnerals or looking at the deceased not secretly taking nad eating anything.
She is expected to engage in these:
Looking at the moon, looking at beautiful people, smell roses,eating uinces apples,green plums and grapes. They used to give birth at home with a midwife, Today they take place in hospitals with a licensed midwife

My Supports
Support means to me is to hold up the weight of something and to be able to give assistance to someone .
I receive emotional support from my Husband, mother, brothers and sister. With my husband and family members I have these needs that they support me with: affection,sexual fulfillment, conservation, recreational companionship, honesty and openness, physical attractions,financial support, domestic support, family commitment, admiration. I also use practical support when I go to the store by writing things down on a list so that I want forget anything and so that I can maintain my budget. My family gives physical support because they encourage me in all my endeavors. I get monetary support from my husband and my job. Because without the job I would not have money to support my income to pay bills, have food, clothes, home and the necessities if life. I also use technology for support by using the computer and the telephone on a daily basis. The telephone helps me to communicate to other people by way of talking. The computer I can do school work and can access things quicker and to help do reports faster for work. They both are good supporters to have.
The benefits of these supporters are very important to me because they all play an enormous role in m life. It would be hard to make it in life without some type of support. They are like a second hand to you . Without these supports in your life your life would be different.
