Getting to Know Your International Contacts
As of week three I have failed to connect with the
two original contacts I reached out to, I decided at this point to research a
local organization to build a relationship. The Goddard School INC. a franchiser of the popular The Goddard School early childhood education program. The uniqueness
with the franchise is how the support structure ensure consistency and each
individual school follows the same vision and mission. The Goddard School is a
well versed program each program acknowledges all children learn different by
offering different teaching styles. “Our
talented teachers also collaborate with parents to nurture children into
respectful, confident and joyful learners…….. putting your child at the
center of our approach encourages your child's lifelong love of learning(Goddard.com)”.
This vision is backed by a program originated by the Goddard School “The
FLEX program ensure that children have fun while
learning the skills they need for long-term success in school and in life (Goddard.com)”.
With these methods The Goddard School are building a foundation early on with
children, ensuring the academic success as well as social success. These are
two main factors contributing to poverty. Until I speak with a member from The
Goddard School I will not have their point of view on poverty.

Deondrea,
ReplyDeleteThere have only been a few of our fellow classmates, who have made contact with other countries. I have not heard of the Goddard School, but I do like their vision and mission. Some parents don't understand the importance of social skills, even with those families that can afford childcare, feel as though they can provide better care for their own children. At our child development centers, we express to parents what learning through play can teach the children later on. Thanks for sharing.
