Establishing Personal Contacts and Expanding Resources

I chose to contact Zenija Berzina who is affiliated with Latvia: The Center for Education Initiatives and Carmen Lica with Romania: Step by Step Center for Education and Professional Development.  I have not received a response back from my contacts, but I have emailed them in regards to their programs.  I chose these contacts in particular after reviewing their programs missions.  I take a great deal of interest in programs designed to foster growth in educators through professional development training and programs focused on child-centered curriculum.    

Latvia: The Center for Education Initiatives' desire is to promote a child-centered approach in the educational system of Latvia and to ensure that every child has the chance to quality education regardless of gender, race, religion, or developmental ability.  Romania: Step by Step Center for Education and Professional Development's goal is help develop quality training centers for educators and promote networking.

  1. Hi Felecia,

    I hope your contacts get back to you quickly. Both organizations seem very interesting. Like you, I believe professional development is very important to better prepare ourselves to serve our students and the community. Best of luck!

  2. Hi Felecia,

    I have not been able to make contact with any of the organization I have reached out to either. I hope we both hear from them soon. I look forward to learning from them. I like the early childhood website you chose. I think training for educators is so important.
