Membership is an area of the Early Education website I had
not yet investigated http://www.early-education.org.uk/.
Early Education has been in the business of supporting early care and education
professionals for 90 years. Individual
and group are the two types of membership available to professionals. Early
Education members receive an Early Education journal, published 3 times a year
and e-news email briefings providing
summaries and announcements from the field. Members also have access to a
national branch network and Special Interest Groups. Members are entitled to
significantly reduced rates to attend courses on the training and professional
development program, conferences and seminars. There is even an option to
purchase a lifetime membership.
There are no specific elements of the site that deal with
equity or excellence aside from training opportunities regarding quality and
developmentally appropriate practice. Every child deserves an early education
experience like this.
I agree that each child deserves quality education. From a teacher's perspective, I see the huge benefit of receiving support and access to networks that will provide learning opportunities.

Lifetime membership, I will have to check this site out some more and explore the benefits! Especially if a good price, it would prove helpful. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree! A lifetime membership is the way to go. I also like how there are professional development opportunities. Thanks for sharing this information. I am going to look into that.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if there are no links to equity and access as that is something that each child in the UK is already entitled to? I also like the idea of a lifetime membership, that would be a great way to educators to continue their professional development without breaking the bank!
