IThis organization is important to my community of practice because it focuses on economic growth and financial stability. with my challenge focusing on getting higher wages for early childhood educators, having an organization like this in my community of practice can be very helpful. They have a direct relationship with the economic status of other countries.

The International Step by Step Association is an organization designed to provide quality care for all early childhood students. This organization would be great for my community of practice because it is filled with early childhood educators. In preparing to get higher wages for our teacher, it is ideal to have a large network of educators. Working with an international origination makes it easier to connect with a wide range of educators.

FHI 360 is an organization that really got my attention. This organization sets out to help people in many different ways. They carefully research each challenge they set out to perfect. For over 40 years they have fought to help individuals, communities, and countries succeed. This organization advocates for several different groups but they have a heart for the education system. Tackling topics like peer education, art knowledge, education management, and literacy, just to name a few. I believe that this organization would be a major player in my community of practice. While I did not see any information on their website on better compensation for early childhood educators, I feel that if they are given the information and hear about the Worthy Wages Campaign they would want to take this on as well.
FHI360 is currently hiring for a Director of Education Research and Evaluations. This person will lead business development opportunities for funding and conducting education research, manage quality improvement, and report research findings. This person will need 10 - 15 years post doctoral education in research and evaluation, experience in developing research, experience in international and U.S. education, and a collegial spirit and sense of humor.
