(2) The second organization I would like to work for is the Association for Childhood Education International.
This organization promotes and supports the optimal education and development of children worldwide and also infuences the professional growth of educators. They consult with the United Nations. There were no jobs posted and was mostly made up of volunteers. I would like to be on the program committee that handles the publications, research and provides membership outreach.
(3) The third organization is OMEP-USNC.
This organization has national committees in over 60 countries. It participates in a variety of research, development and advocacy projects. It has organized a Haiti Relief Project, a book drive for a preschool in Jamaica, plans events such as Universal Children's Day. It also offers workshops, seminars and conferences to reaise awareness of the world's children. There were no job openings posted. I think a majority of the positions are on a volunteer basis. I enjoy research and providing data to agencies to help improve programming. I would like to do that for this organization.
Another agency that I looked into was the National Head Start Association. There wer two ideal jobs for me on their employment website. Unfortunately they were in the wrong state. I would really like the Education Director position in Chicago or the Director of Early Head Start and Head Start in Nebraska. So if you live in either one of those states check these positions out.
Finally my dream job is available at Michigan State University. All of my career I have wanted to teach at the preschool lab and also teach the college students. I went to MIAEYC website and they have this exact position posted there. They do require a Masters Degree and I won't be done for awhile so will need to wait and hopefully another position will open. It is not ideal for my family as MSU is about 4 hours away but long term this would be a great jobe for me. By working for MSU I could also get reduced tuition for my children which is another bonus.
