International Step by Step Association is a caring organization that connects early childhood professionals and organizations in the early childhood field. "ISSA promotes equal access to quality education and care for all children, especially in the early years of their lives" (ISSA, http://www.issa.nl/index.html).
One of the services provided by the ISSA, is promoting quality, and supporting professionals. In my current profession in the early childhood field, these missions are extremely important. In my career, I strive to promote and support quality education not only in my classroom, but in my facility and my community. The quality of care is essential in the growth and production of young children, and as teachers, we should be advocates for such quality. A few of the outlined areas that ISSA concentrates on are Interactions, Family and Community, Teaching Strategies and Professional Development, all of which are essential to high quality child care. I am particularly intrigued in the new launch of a ISSA online course geared to Kindergarten/Preschool educators on child centered education. I think this is a great opportunity for educators to strengthen their motives and intentions in the classroom.
The Principles mentioned earlier, and few others, are Principles that the ISSA strongly believe should be followed by educators, administrators and policymakers, in order to make rational and effective decisions in the best interest of our children.
I believe this website provides educators, parents, and policymakers with crucial information that contribute to the essential progression of young children. This website can be utilized by all individuals of all areas, all with the same purpose in mind; to make decisions in the best interest of our children, in efforts to promote high quality education.
