Jobs and Roles in the ECE Field: National/Federal Level

Three National/Federal Organizations or Communities of Practice that Appeal to me:

• I have always been interested in Zero to Three as the impact they have on the field across the country is so great. I have always seen this as an organization that supports the passion of early childhood development. I also believe this organization stays up-to-date on early childhood issues like mental health in early childhood which is something I am very interested in. 
• HighScope also sparked an interest for me. This was an organization I did not know a lot about until I hired a teacher who came from a HighScope program. Unfortunately, due to life I was never able to look more into the program but, this week I was able to look into it more and found it incredibly interested.
• Child Trauma Academy-I currently work for a mental health agency that partners with this agency and their focus on mental health in the early childhood years has always been a topic I am incredibly interested in and passionate about. 

Job Opportunities that interest me:

• I would like to be a certified trainer in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) and The Neurosequential Model in Education (NME) to help support early childhood programs in these models. These are both models from the Child Trauma Academy and models I utilize on a daily basis. 

Skills Needed:

• Certification in NMT and NME and further training in teaching and coaching to help early childhood professionals.
