Getting Ready—Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

During the week I tried contacting several professional contacts for this assignment. I have had no luck in establishing contacts. Can someone give me a suggestion on what I can do? I chose alternative 2. I listened to some podcasts  and I have subscribed to some. I've tried to contact some early childhood professionals from the podcasts, so far no luck.

I chose two early childhood organizations for my resources, one from outside the United States, Save the Children, and two in the United States, Pre-K Now: A Campaign of the Pew Center on the States and National Head Start Association. I've subscribed to their newsletters, so far I've only heard back from one. I'm looking forward to learning more about these organizations.

  1. Brenda, it was a long process for me. I finally got a response from two contacts. This is just the beginning for me. Hopefully, they will stay in contact with me.

  2. I too had a difficult time establishing contacts. I am hopeful that this will change. I look forward to hearing about what you learn from these organizations.

  3. Brenda,

    I too have not received responses from my contacts. Hopefully we will both hear back this week. I would love to learn more about the Save the Children organization as well. I plan on looking more into that. Thanks for your post.
