Jobs/ Roles in the ECE Community

The national organizations that I have interest in are The Zero To Three and High Scope, unfortunately for me they are out of my driving range.  Zero To Three is the National Center for Infants ,Toddlers, and Families and their mission is to nurture early development, and promote the health and development of infants and toddlers.  There were three jobs listed and one for early childhood the others were for different fields of study.  The Development Manager Proposal job requires a Masters or equivalent in early childhood education, public policy, or social work.  They are looking for someone with 5years of relevant work experience and knowledge of the early childhood system.  You would be required to conduct research, collaborate with statewide and county coalitions, track and promote state and community system building that can affect Zero To Three’s work.

High Scope is an international organization that looks at development training and public outreach organizations.  I like one of their motto’s “lift lives through education” by using participation learning.  High Scope provides training for teachers and administrators.  One of the jobs listed is Assistant Marketing Manager, Center for Early Education Evaluation Research Assistant 1.  This person must have a 4year degree in education or a related field, be able to do data entry and have 1-2 years’ experience in a child care setting.   A second job that was posted was an Early Childhood Literacy Specialist, whose job would be to oversee the development, and implantation of literacy based activities that would be delivered in a variety of direct-parent, direct-child, and parent-child together programs, that are set up to promote language and cognitive development, and general communication skills of children from birth to the age of five.  You must have a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education or related field and 2years experience as a parent educator and literacy program experience.

I am in the market and found some other interesting jobs, which I posted on my blog under JObs/Roles in the ECE Community.
