I chose National Head Start Association in the section about us, it explains the importance of head start programs to vulnerable children.
 Head Start is a comprehensive early childhood education and it is essential because it benefits children, families, and communities. They use evidence-based practices and partner with community-based organizations to help remove child and family barriers to success. The Head Start investment is effective and means that children are more likely to graduate from high school and college, are less likely to need special education services, and are less likely to repeat grades.  We are proud of the positive impact Head Start has on our society, one child at a time.
 Head Start programs work collaboratively with local schools, childcare providers, community service providers, and families to meet the needs of a new generation and ensure all children have a brighter future.
In 2013 Head Start programs faced devastating budget cuts and many teachers lost their jobs and decrease in their pays. As a result the NHSA organized events and they showed how cuts impacted local communities and a Rally in Washington, D.C.
7,740 letters supporting Head Start were sent to Congress in 2013,10.769 letters
supporting Head Start were sent to the White House in 2013. More than 30,000 mentions
of Head Start in the media in 2013. They have monthly alumni e-newsletter that keeps the alumni’s
connected and they share their stories and this will help the head start supporters to fund.

    Thank you for sharing about the Head start program. I have more understanding of the program now. Its good thing that some people believe in the program and continue to push for its support. Though investing Early years has its clear benefits funding is still much of a challenge.

    I am aware of the head start program but I was not aware that funding was dramatically cut. Where cuts made to invest in another program, a 'better' one? I have peaked my interesting and now I have some late night research to do.

Sharing Web Resources I chose Association for Children Education International organization. ACEI is international organization and its belief that education is important for development. The focus of ACEI to educate all children , but their main focus is on meeting the education needs to the children that in need the most. Their work started in 1892 to promote kindergarten education in the United States and internationally. In 1930 their work expanded to promote education to primary school years. In their Global/ACEI news section “ Our Children Marching For Their Lives in the United States” caught my attention. Children in United States and around the world are marching to protest against gun violence in schools. The violence in today’s world has become ordinary and common. This violence causes number of deaths, injuries, pain and fear throughout the world. I have leaned from this article that children march for tow reasons, they march to express their emotion and also to show to th...

Testing For Intelligence  I do not think that Standardized Testing correctly measures a student’s intelligence or academic level. Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently. I believe that it puts too much pressure and stress on students to do good on those tests like the SAT, ACT tests, etc. I don’t feel like you can gain anything from taking those tests because most of the questions that are on the test are the ones that you’ve never seen before or you’ve never even learned about in school. It shouldn’t have to play a role on smart the student is or determined their abilities. If I was the leader of the state’s Department of Education, I would advocate fewer standardized tests so that it doesn’t put a lot of pressure on the students to do well on them. In china China, all s...
