The name and link for the organization I selected is National Black Child Development Institute,
http://nbcdi.org. Since 1970, the National Black Child Development Institute has remained steadfast in its mission “to improve and advance the quality of life for Black children and their families through education and advocacy.” As a membership organization with volunteer-based Affiliate networks in over 20 communities across the country, NBCDI serves as a national resource agency providing strengths-based programs, publications, policy and trainings focused in the following areas: Health and Wellness; Early Childhood Development and Education; Elementary and Secondary Education; Literacy; Child Welfare; and Family Engagement.
The newsletter that I subscribed to was National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. A current issue in this newsletter is The members of our allied professional organizations applauding the profound step the President has taken to promote high quality early childhood education and offering their support for the Presidential Early Learning Plan.Their work of preparing early childhood teachers and leaders for the target programs
making their members natural collaborators in this important initiative and they are offering their partnership, expertise, and nation-wide presence to support the President's agenda.
Tajsa,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the National Black Child Development Institute. After looking at their site I put it in my favorites! I teach in a predominately black school, so this is a great resource to have. I know I will be revisiting this site.
Thank you for introducing this to me.

Hey Tajsa,
ReplyDeleteWe chose the same organization for the class assignment. I didn't know too much about the organization in the beginning, but since I signed up for the newsletter, I find myself logging onto the website every other day to see if there is any new news. With this whole Trayvin Martin thing happening, I am truly going to push for these young black men and women to get the best education possible so they can stay in the school and off the streets. Thanks for sharing your blog.
