At least three national/federal organizations that appealed to me and why I chose them:
National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC supports children from birth to 8 years old when their foundation of development is very critical. They work with teachers, parents, community leaders, and anyone that has a desire to support the needs and rights of all children.
At the current time they have a job opening for an Accreditation Coordinator, in which you would be required to assist program staff, NAEYC assessors and other stakeholders in understanding and interpreting the standards, the criteria and the system as a whole.
Requirements for this position would be to have a BA in Early Childhood Education/Child Development, 3-5 years experience and a sound understanding of its practice. Experience with high quality programming. Excellent oral and written communication, analytical, MS Office and database skills are required. Must be able to stay on schedule in order to meet deadlines and some travel required. Salary $38-41K with excellent benefits. All positions are housed in NAEYC headquarters located in Washington, DC.
National Institute For Early Education Research (NIEER). NIEER conducts research that is very important to support high quality effective early childhood education for all young children. The importance of this high quality education enhances children physical, cognitive, and social development, and consequent success in school and later life.
Current job opportunities available are: Project Coordinator- applicants should have a BA in social science, experience in early childhood research, curriculum development, and/or professional development is a must. Classroom experience is required.
Summer Research Assistants- applicants should be enrolled in education, child development, psychology, economics, statistics, public policy or a related field. Experience is desired.
Data Collectors- applicants should be graduate students, have a BA or be upperclassman undergraduate students with a focus on child development, early childhood, psychology or related field. Experience in classroom settings and/or working with children highly preferred.
National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators (NAECTE). Interest me because their purpose is to advocate for improvement in early childhood teacher education. They cooperate with other national and international organizations concerned with the study and education of young children.
Current job opportunity available is: Teacher- Day Care located at Medstar Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Requirements for this job would be for the applicant to have an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Development (Bachelor’s degree preferred).
