Antowah,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you included NAECTE , I often visit their website and browse the Job Announcements tab as I aspire one day when I feel I have all the requisite skills to teach in an institution of higher education, I am not there yet. There you can find listings of positions for child development specialists, Teachers, Assistant/Associate Professors, and Faculty positions listed for colleges and universities in different locales. NAECTE is a community of practice in support of improving ECE, its journal provides its members with useful research to apply to practice. Thank you, Jeannie.
Hi Antowah,
ReplyDeleteThe NAECTE performs as a great organization for enhancing early childhood education and promotion of professional development in preparation for teaching at a higher level. I have gained a lot from this organization.
