I sent an email trying to establish contact with other Early Childhood professionals. I chose to send an email to Egypt, Moroco, South Africa, and Asia. My email read:
Hello,
My name is Alissa Stark. I work as a Head Start teacher in Oregon and currently purse my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education at Walden University. I would love to make contact with another Early Childhood professional from a different part of the world to share our experiences. Please email back if interested, it would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Alissa
All of the first four emails I sent came back return to sender.
I sent two more emails to Unicef in Cambodia, Australia and Costa Rica. I am waiting for responses and hopefully I will make contact with another Early Childhood professional.
I received an email back from UNICEF due to the time pressure on staff in their office they are unable to participate at this time. I only have one other email waiting for a response.
The second option for the blog assignment might be my only choice. I am going to start listening to the podcast of World Forum Radio. This will be the first time I have ever listened to a podcast, and I am very interested.
Hi Alissa!
ReplyDeleteI too have not come close to contact with any early childhood professional. Time is the key. I went ahead and did the alternative assignment and found it most enjoyable. Having the opportunity to contact professionals around the world is fun but it can also be frustrating when you get no response. Hopefully, all of us will luck out and get responses soon!
