National Center for Research on Early Childhood Education NCRECE http://www.ncrece.org/wordpress/
I have chosen the above organisations to be part of my community of practice because they all have on-going research projects on the challenge I am working on presently--Standardised testing and assessment.
Again, the job opportunity I am looking forward to aside being a Director of child care centres is to be a Research Assistant. It is the era where principles are carried out in early childhood settings based on research results. The basic requirement is my interest and a degree in my field of interest.
Hence, while I read and utilise other research findings, I will like to have to my credit some findings too.

Exploring Roles in the ECE Community
Communities of practice have a huge impact on our knowledge content, and I am opportune to be part of some Early Childhood communities of practice.
Looking around my local environment and considering my project topic, I am looking forward to working with the Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria. This ministry is of interest to me because its staff are the primary policy makers in Nigeria in terms of children education. Therefore, for me to make a change, I need to belong here. Though I did not see any position of my choice, I think I will function well as a Director of Early Childhood Department. Qualifications required could be a degree in Education and a minimum number of years of experience.
I have always admired ZeroToThree and her mission statement http://www.zerotothree.org/. I will like to work as a Graduate Intern in order to familiarise myself with their principles. What is required is to be a graduate student.
Head Start Cook Road, Houston, Texas is also a place I admire so much maybe because of their staffs' friendliness. I was there sometime last month for class observation. The centre manager was very open and ready to help as she patiently answered my numerous questions. I admire her position and wish I could function in that capacity someday in a federal facility like head start/early head start.
I am looking forward to working in a French child care centre also. It will be my pleasure to put together all knowledge and experience garnered from my 'International tour' when I begin my child care centre in Nigeria. So, after my maternity leave, I will be picking up an internship position in a French school since my French is not perfect yet. I will have to be fluent in French for me to pick up a teaching position and of course a degree in early childhood studies.
Finally, I would not mind being a research assistant in Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute http://fpg.unc.edu/. Though I dread research but I think this will be an opportunity for me to work closely with researchers. I like their mission statement and their organisational chart. I like their role as children development researchers.
