Sharing Web Resources

After exploring the National Black Child Development Institute’s website, I started to look more into the resources and articles. There has not been any newsletters sent out as of yet, but I did find articles with different headings, such as health, policy and advocacy, early care and education, family engagement and literacy.  I looked into the policy and advocacy resources, as well as early care and education. I chose these to links because I wanted to find out if they discussed the issues for the week of equity of education in regards access and availability. These resources gave me a better understanding of the need for excellence in early care and education because it advocating for the awareness of these issues of affordability and access to children and their families. When I explored the policy and advocacy, the article discusses how policies are being put into place to make sure that children and their families are getting help to afford quality education by including subsidies given for families are financially challenged. The article also goes into detail on the benefits of having quality and affordable child care is beneficial not only to the families as a whole, but on the developing child. The main insight I have gained is the global awareness that nationally accredited groups are making available to the masses to explain the need for advocacy. I love the fact that more and more individuals are trying to aid in the advocacy for children and their families to stay healthy not just physically, but mentally and educationally. The realization is that it takes a village to help nurture and educate the children of society, and we as a society have to join forces to make sure that the equity of education is available, accessible, and affordable to all children and families, regardless of socio-economic status.
