Sharing Web Resources

As I continue to research the UNESCO, I am learning more about how important their work in the field of education is. The UNESCO partners with countries all around the world to help children and families in need. I am also learning they sponsor educational trainings around the world on topics such as teacher ethics, science trainings, health, and many others. They are really focused on putting an end to poverty and focus on the field of education.  I have also found out that helping to recruit and keep teachers is another part of their work.
I did not realize how far reaching their impact was so this was interesting to me. After reading more about poverty and the effects it has on people, I found the work this organization is doing to be great. We need more organizations to help put an end to poverty. It is really sad to see how many lives are affected around the world. I think the partnerships the UNESCO had with other organizations is great and beneficial to the cause of helping people in need. I also learned they partner with government agencies around the world. 

UNESCO does a lot of work in the field of early childhood education. They work with preschool all the way up. I found out they are really focused on working with the whole child. I think this is great because holistic teaching is really important. I think in order to teach effectively, we must meet the social, emotional, cognitive, etc needs of a child. I am looking forward to reading more into the work of the UNESCO because they have so much information to offer.

  1. Hi Jennifer,
    I had not explored this website/organization before this course. I really appreciate the importance that the organization places on the whole child, like you I realize the impact that poverty has on the whole child. Thanks for sharing! I look forward to learning more about the UNESCO.
