Research Around The World
The website I chose to use for my research around the world assignment is Early Childhood Australia, (2012). The link to this site is here. Some of the international research topics on this website include: partnerships between childhood settings and home; assessments; respecting diversity; nurturing the spiritual child; bullying; storytelling; engaging families; and so much more.
There is a section on the website titled: "Early Childhood News" and there you can see a lot of things happening in early childhood in Australia. One of the things I found interesting is a book they are selling entitled: First Year at School. In this book it talks about the transitions that happen from home to school the first year. I thought this resource was very valuable. They even offer a free chapter you can review before buying.
This website is very informative and has a plethora of information. It is easy to understand and navigate. I really feel like they understand what the needs are of parents and early childhood professionals. I would definitely utilize this resource if living in Australia.
Thanks,
Cortnee :)

Cortnee, that is a very interest book to help parents and early childhood on information on how to help the children first year of school. It will prepare you for school readiness for your child first time going. I wish they had more chapters of the book for we can read about.
Cortnee,
I loved that website and it is the one I chose also. I think it is very comparable to NAEYC, don't you? I was fascinated by some of the very similar topics in their news. It seems like Early Care and Education have similar issues throughout the world!
