Three of the national/federal organizations
of practice that appeal to me are: National Education Association (NEA),
National Black Child Development Institute ( NBCDI) and National Association
for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The reasons are:
The NEA Mission appealed to me because the mission
is:
“The National Education Association
(NEA), the nation's largest professional employee organization, is committed to
advancing the cause of public education. NEA's 3 million members work at every
level of education—from pre-school to university graduate programs. NEA has
affiliate organizations in every state and in more than 14,000 communities
across the United States” (NEA, 2014).
Another organization of practice which
appeals to because of their mission is NBCDI. The mission of the group is to take
on and work with leaders, policy makers etc. about issues which directly have
an impact on Black children and their families and more….(NBCDI, 2013)
The third organization is NAEYC which
mission is “serve and act on the behalf on the needs, rights and well-being of
all young people” (NAEYC, 2014). There are many jobs available in the surrounding counties
here in Georgia. The jobs range from teaches to principals.
Most of the jobs available in the surrounding area are for elementary teachers. My
ideal job is own a school. I want to advocate for children and their families any way I can.
I want to be a person who can help children who would normally “fall through the cracks” of
the average system. I want to help and advocate for students who are like I was. I was told I had
a learning disability. During that time, I was a student who was told I would never go to
college because I was not smart enough. I was told that by teacher. My mother worked with me and
encouraged me and of course I was able to complete high school, college and I now have two
advanced degrees. I decided that no other child should have to experience the negativity I did. I
want to be there to encourage each student and to help the students and their families.
