Early Educaion Careers on the International Scale

The first organization that caught my eye is Fhi360.  This organization is hard at work affecting change for children through locally-driven projects.  One current job opening that I find interesting is the Early Childhood Education Specialist.  This role includes providing Technical Assistance and training to Head Start grantees.  This role also includes assisting grantees in program planning and staff selection.  Requirements include a BA or Masters in Early Childhood Education, experience in the field, knowledge of early childhood theory, experience work with/in AIAN Head Start, experience providing TA and working with teachers.  This position interests me because I enjoy program development, working with adults in the field, and travel.

A second organization that interests me is Save the Children.  This organization has multiple initiatives all over the world to create positive, permanent change for children.  I am reading about the Associate Director of Policy & Advocacy, Early Childhood Development.  This role includes working with the Director and other partners to impact policy efforts. This position requires a degree in Early Childhood or policy, experience and knowledge of policy and legislature, and experience, relationships, and navigation skills in upper-level Washington political circles.  This position interests me because of its role in impacting educational policy at the federal/national level.

 

Thirdly, I explored the website for Plan International, an organization that works all over the globe to empower children and improve their ability to be self sufficient and successful.  Plan currently has Education in Emergency positions open.  In order to fill these positions one must have education, crisis intervention, humanitarian, and emergency preparedness expertise.  I find this position interesting because of the opportunity to assist children in continuing to benefit from the security of the routine of school during crises.
