Paper 1: Growing as an Early Childhood Advocate
Advocacy involves turning your passion into action. Advocacy can be part of your work as an early childhood professional in your own “placeâ€â€”your community, your program, your classroom, with one family or one child. With these thoughts in mind, select one of the stories at the World Forum’s Bonnie’s Global Café that inspires you at: https://bonniesglobalcafe.worldforumfoundation.org/category/advocacy/page/2/
Describe why you selected the topic and provide a brief summary of the information shared.
Explain how advocacy was demonstrated in this example.
Analyze how the information in the Learning Resources, including Bonnie’s Café, are shaping your thinking about advocacy in early childhood.
Explain how these resources and advocacy stories will inform your own work as an advocate and professional.
Describe at least two action steps you plan to implement to support your professional growth as an early childhood advocate.
