On the (https://www.globalfundforchildren.org) website I came across a publication regarding education. It makes reference to “no child left behind” it mentioned that that term also applies to children in other countries (mostly female) who may not even have to the opportunity to attend school because they have to work to help provide for their families. This seems relevant to my current professional development because often times we don’t think about these things that are taking place outside of our “world”. What if I had a family who has come from a culture who may not value education for girls because it is not a norm for them. This information will allow me to see things from their perspective and not judge them because their views are different from mines.
I can’t say that any of this information adds to my understanding of how economists, neuroscientists, or politicians support early childhood without conducting additional information about other countries and their views on early childhood education.

I have learned that in order to gain a better understanding of the current treads and issues in the early childhood field we have to look at the trends and issues worldwide not just in our local communities. We never know when we will come face to face with families that come from cultures different from our own. It would help to stay current and be familiar with things that are taking place around the world.
