A Place Where Educators Meet

What specific section(s) or information seemed particularly relevant to your current professional development? Learning about affordable care for families in poverty. As an educator I want to be able to offer my services to those who are less fortunate. Before being an educator I am a parent. I can sympathize with families who wants the best for their child but can't afford it. I am surviving but I still would like to give my children the best education, I just don't make enough money to put them in private school.

As an educator, children are the main priority and if that means saving them, we will put or best foot forward to see them succeed. A few sites were interesting learning about what they do and how they help the early childhood community. I can really speak for Harlem Children Zone, I used to work for them and I see their action play, when it comes to children. They mentor and really advocate to the youth.
