Sharing Web Resources

NAEYC has an abundance of resources that their website has to offer that come directly from them, so I was not able to find outside links that are not affiliated with NAEYC.  I was able to more deeply focus on one of their sections that has to do with play and children's learning.  There are many links that can be followed that gives helpful information on the importance of play and how children learn through playing.  There are also sections for Common Core, family engagement, ethics, and many more that can greatly assist teachers.

NAEYC is well known for their standards on early childhood education.  Part of their website includes all of their position statements that are clearly stated to help educators and professionals in this field know what are the best practices to use when working with children.  I chose to read their position statement about where they stand in regard to early learning standards.  This position statement helped my understanding of equity and excellence in early childhood care and learning in many ways.  One part of the position statement is that early childhood learning needs to include developmentally appropriate practices.  I am a firm believer that developmentally appropriate practices should always be used in teaching young children and I feel that it is part of equity and excellence in early childhood care.
