Empowering Pedagogy for Early Childhood Education – I feel connected to this amazing book in so many ways, – the content, the colourful bubble notes, a reflective moment, and professional case study reflection questions. The layout of the book is inviting which inspires me to continue my professional practice of learning, self improvement and growth to share with my children, families, co-workers, and NIC colleagues.

The Early Childhood Educator – Since August of 2019 I have been a member of ECEBC. I appreciate the 25 pages of columns, news, updates, and focus articles which are laid out in a clean design, printed in black and white on semi glossy paper. The articles are always interesting, relatable, and provide connection to my continuously learning. There are very few advertisements in the journal and when they do appear they are related to children, parents, and early childhood educator professionals development and education.

Peer Mentoring for Early Childhood Educators – Through research for my “Professional Resources – Journal Articles Assignment”, I came across the peer mentoring for early childhood educator article, which I found most interesting.
