Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough Council
This program appealed to me because provides information and
referral services, prevention and early intervention to children and families
free of cost. The ECC continues to grow
its membership while managing key services of Developmental Screening, Child
Care Inclusion & Technical Assistance, Training and Professional
Development.
No jobs are available at this time.
However, I believe that I am an excellent candidate for a
job in this organization. As an early
childhood professional that is making a specialization in training adults I
would be very interested in working in the area of technical assistance,
training and professional development.
Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County
The Early Learning Coalition provides a variety of services
to the community such as child care referral and resources. Also, they oversee the QRIS system for
Hillsborough County and provide technical assistance and training to child care
providers. Another goal for the Early
Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC) is to strengthen
Hillsborough's child care system to more effectively support the needs of
children with disabilities and their families.
ELCHC strives to help expand child care options for children
with disabilities and their families by providing funding to the Care Options
Program to support the inclusion of children with special needs in early
childhood settings. Services are available to providers to enhance staff's
knowledge and competence in serving children with disabilities or behavioral
challenges.
Not jobs available at this time
In this organization I will be interested in working either
in the QRIS system as one of their program specialist and also to provide
training and technical assistance. I
think that after I complete this M.S. program I will have the knowledge,
experience and credentials to qualify and be successful at the job.
Tampa bay institute for early childhood professionals
The Tampa Bay Institute for Early Childhood Professionals is
a space dedicated to the positive growth and transformation of the early childhood
professional. "The Institute" offers a variety of services and
resources aimed at helping current and aspiring early childhood professionals
enrich their skills, chart a successful career path and ultimately improve the
quality of care delivered in early childhood programs throughout the Tampa Bay
area.
The Institute offers area early childhood professionals a
full range of professional development services such as career advising,
special trainings and seminars, a well-rounded lending library, Live Scan
services, laminators, die cut machines and MORE!
Not Jobs available at this time
In this institute I will be interested in a trainer/instructor
position. During my M.S program I
learned the skills and obtained knowledge about adult learning theories,
techniques and strategies.
The challenge of not having a strong economy reflects in the lack of resources to make jobs available for early childhood professionals. My community has been hit as well in the past years not only by not being able to create employment opportunities but also there has been a huge reduction of programs and services to the community. Our parenting education program was cut 60% two years ago.

Hi Marta,
ReplyDeleteI hate the fact that no jobs available in the organizations that you are interested in. Is the lack of jobs becasue of low turn over or not enough funding to provide additional jobs. If you had to find a organization, now, that had open positions where would it be. In Georgia we have a similar organazation much like the Tampa Bay Institute for Early Childhood Professionals and I totally agree that the experience they offer is life changing.
I think you picked out a very good organization and I do want to learn more about the Early Learning Coalition. Sometimes we put a label on a child it sets them up for parents, teachers, and children to treat them differently. This can be harmful to the child’s self esteem. The child can have a negative feeling about themselves because of the labeling. Children can be quite cruel. In the article, Redefining disability, the author Snow suggests the problem is not the persons with the disability; the problem is everyone’s attitudes about disability. “Attitude is everything” (Snow, 2003-2009). I have found this statement to be very true, I have a niece and a nephew with Autism.

ReplyDeleteGreat post! It was very interesting to learn about the programs that are available to support our growing ECE community. You are right you are fully qualified and would be an asset to any of these programs or others.

ReplyDeleteIt's good to see so many organizations with the interest of the child in mind. I think when an opportunity becomes available you will be great asset to all of the organizations of interest.
