NAEYC
The name of the name of the organization I am studying is the
National Association for the Education of Young Children or NAEYC. The website is www.naeyc.org.
One current issue/trend that caught my attention was the discussion of newest
research on language and vocabulary on their blog. The blog also had a post related to the topic
this week, the blog is discussed dual language learners and how early childhood
professionals can support children who are dual language learners. The one thing that stood out for me in this
post was the thought that every child should be a dual language learner.

ReplyDeleteNAEYC is such a valuable resource. As a director of a preschool, I am constantly looking to NAEYC for the latest news. I am enrolled to receive updates from their website and get their newsletter as well. They update me of all things early childhood, I find the equipment recalls especially helpful.
I am also interested in learning about ELL and DLL. Children pick up languages so fast, having all children learn as DLL isn't a bad idea. Can you imagine how much more productive we could be as educators if we all knew English and Spanish?
Dalhia, thanks for your post. I think I like the idea of every child been a dual language learner. It's a good opportunity and its very easier for children to learn things than adult.
