The National Association of Early Childhood
Specialists in State Departments of Education (NAECS-SDE) is a national
organization for state education staff agency that has major responsibility in
the field of early childhood. This
association promotes high-quality services to children and families by
improving instruction, curriculum, and the administration of programs. Members
of this organization have the opportunity to share ideas, and work together
toward a solution to a problem. http://www.naecs-sde.org/policy
The Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home
Visiting Program, facilitates, partners and collaborates at the federal state
and community levels to improve the health and development outcomes for at-risk
children through home visiting programs that are evidence based. This program
focuses on improving maternal and newborn health, preventing childhood
injuries, child abuse, neglect, improving school readiness, and improving the
coordination of referrals to other community resources and supports. I did not
see any open positions on this site that I qualify for. If a position was open,
I believe that I would have to have great knowledge of the early childhood
field. I would also have to know state and federal regulations pertaining to
health, nutrition and child abuse. This site interested me a lot because it
seems that many services are provided to children including a home visiting
curriculum which has been very beneficial to families. http://mchb.hrsa.gov/training/tr_job.asp
Illinois Association for The Education of Young
Children is Illinois largest early childhood professional organization that has
over 3200 members. The members have dedicated their time and efforts to
improving the education and lives of young children in their community and throughout
the state. This organization advocates for children, educates the public about
the importance of the early years and provides professional development opportunities
for members. There were no recent open positions with this organization. I
suspect that with this organization as well as the others that I have discussed
that a person must be knowledgeable in the field of early childhood. This will
include having sound knowledge of developmental milestones and being committed
to serving families while participating in opportunities for professional
development opportunities. http://illinoisaeyc.org/?Key=Search&q=open+positions

Dear Shevia,
Thank you for sharing. My job requires us to make home visits. I have learned that an essential skill to have is knowing how to communicate. Sometimes, my team needs to read the non-verbal communication in order to slow down with the amount of information we are providing to the family.
