Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally

The three international organizations or communities of practice that appealed to me were...

1. https://www.unicef.org

I like this organization or community of practice because they work in 190 countries, so that means they are nation wide.  Their intentions is to save children's lives.  This is the main reason that I like this organization because they care about the well-being of all children.  Even their rights!  Also, they help with fulfilling their potential, and they "never give up" ( UNICEF, n.d.).  

2.  https://www.savethechildren.org

I like this organization or community of practice because they protect children from harm.  "When crisis strikes and children are more vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave" (Save the children, 2011).  "We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard" (Save the children, 2011).  

3.  https://www.unesco.org

I like this organization or community of practice because "UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilizations, cultures, and peoples, based upon respect for commonly shared values" (UNESCO, 2011).  

The job that I found that was interesting is titled Assistant Principal.  The assistant principal will support the leadership team in organizing and foster a positive environment that is conductive to the needs of all students, staff and parents.  This includes:  leading, directing, and developing instructional and non-instructional staff programs; mentoring and evaluating staff; and assist the principal in the implementation, supervision and assessment of the total school instructional program.
