Hello every one
How is every one i hope you are all good i think the most of us are having the same problem with the international contacts since no one actually is answering us its is frustrating since there could be an abandonment amount of information to gather. In addition i was not able to understand the assignment fully it was some what confusing to me but i tried my best to go in to the Harvard website and found some interesting information.
it was interesting to find that both Brazil and Canada both share the same interest of introducing science in to the early education field as a practice and policies for example Brazil is creating a science early education movement by training policy makers to learn how to apply developmental science in programs and polices and they are doing it through:
1- building a Brazilian scientific community around early childhood.
2- introducing the early childhood science into the Brazilian society.
3-providing leadership courses to strengthen the leadership around early childhood.
4- having a cluster of researchers, practitioners, and program developers to come together and design and test new strategies addressing childhood in Brazil and share there failure and susses.
As fro Canada they are trying to introduce the same approach but by fulfilling two key mandates :
1- supporting research in early education in brain development, emotional,mental, and health areas.
2- translating the research for policy makers, health care communities, and the general public.
For both countries the interest was so far more scientific and to make it work for the best of interest of children and their healthy development while educating policy makers, and the general public of its importance. I found the information very interesting in the website though it was very hard to get the site to worked hope that it worked fro every one else.
