The Early Childhood Educator as Advocate
As an ECE, there is a great responsibility bestowed upon us when families leave their children in our care, as we have the potential to make a huge impact on the lives of those children and of the families.
As a child advocate, you are committing to promoting the best interests of the children in your care, valuing them, protecting them, and standing up for them as human beings, no matter how small.
During this workshop, we will explore:
- The 5 w’s of advocacy
- Simple vs. complex examples of advocacy
- Intentional vs. unintentional comparisons of advocacy
- When advocacy is not accepted or appropriate
- Advocacy organizations in your local area
