Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels
The Mississippi Association of Educators (MAE) is a state level organization that encourages educators to work together and share information. The Mississippi Association of Educators has a position for program managers who conduct seminars. This job requires public speaking skills and an educational background in education. A seminar speaker can help to develop programs to provide educators with information on current research.
I am currently a member of the local Parent and Teachers association. As an educator, I work with parents to develop field trips and activities for children. I also help parents to develop learning strategies to use at home. A primary purpose of the PTA is to encourage parental involvement in education. Therefore, all positions are voluntary.
The Mississippi Professional Educators (MPE) is the state's largest organization for professional educators. This organization focuses on early childhood education. The organization helps to develop research and information to improve the practices in early childhood education. The organization has a coordinator position that requires communication and organization skills. The coordinator works with members to schedule meetings and seminars.

Tammy,
ReplyDeleteMore educators need to become involved with their local PTA. The children are the ones that benefit the most and I think some teachers forget that. The Mississippi Professional Educators (MPE) sounds like an awesome organization. It appears to be a great community of practice.
Tammy,
ReplyDeleteThe PTA is very important. I try my best to be an active supporter each year.
Are you going to apply for the program manager position? It sounds very interesting.
Thanks for sharing information about the MPE .
