Change, Contexts, Consequences, and Constraints

This has been a tremendous journey learning about different cultural aspects of international professionals and trying to get in tune with how early education programs achieve the highest-possible quality, performance, and maximum impact for the children. The consequences for professional development include learning how other countries working hard to constitute the right of every child in every nation by having access to a quality education.  The type of education that will prepare children to become responsible and engaged citizens and ready them for life in a changing world.  The consequences are indeed positive simply because you  connect with different cultures and get insight on what steps different countries take in order to eliminate challenges of:  national early childhood education standards, national licensing and accreditation system, child care resource and referral system, or professional development system.   Professionals learn about who and how they collaborate with others in their country.  One goal that should be mentioned when discussing international awareness of issues and trends should be to consider the ongoing changes of early childhood in those specific countries and what we as professionals can do as family to help them find a resolution to problems in hopes that we may receive exchange of information as well.
