Consequences
of learning about the international early childhood field can be negative or
positive. I tend to take an optimistic view point on life and so I have when it
came to looking at the consequences of learning about the international early
childhood field.
First,
there is so much new information and knowledge to gain from others in our field
and that information can be valuable. We can take the time to learn from one
another what approaches are successful and which ones need to be rethought. If
countries did not communicate about early childhood education there would not
be Montessori preschool approaches used in the US.
Secondly,
by communicating with other professionals from the field we will be able to
learn about one another. About our cultures, values, and beliefs’. This
knowledge will only make our classrooms more diversely rich. Every child will
feel like they are appreciated and that they belong.
Lastly, we
could band together as one. The early childhood field makes a huge impact on
the world. If we would stand as one we could possible get the pay and benefits
we deserve on a world wide scale.
My
personal goal for international awareness of issues and trends with the early
childhood field in mind is for there to be quality childcare for all children
world wide. That children would be valued and supported within their class and
that early education would be available to them.

I also think that learning from one another is a great way to gain for information for our field. Listening to the experiences as well as the viewpoints help me see a different perspective of many important issues and trends in our field. I liked that you mentioned to take the time to share the approaches that each individual uses. We all bring a little piece of ourselves into our teaching technique so it is helpful to share with one another and learn new ideas to keep our teaching techniques updated and interesting for the children.
