- At least three national/federal organizations or communities of practice that appealed to you and why you chose them
Society for
Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (SDBP)
is an international organization dedicated to improving the health of infants,
children, and adolescents by promoting research, teaching and clinical practice
in developmental and behavioral pediatrics (2014).
I
found this organization to be critical because it provided professionals and
families a research base to aid children of all ages.
National Coalition for
Parental Involvement in Education (NCPIE) is an
organization, which advocates the involvement of parents and families in their
children's education, and to foster relationships between home, school, and
community to enhance the education of all our nation's young people (2014).
I
found this organization to be a great one because it highlighted the importance
of collaboration between professionals and families and parental involvement. I
love the NCPIE resources the website provided and believe this organization
would be a great asset to families everywhere.
National Association
for Children’s Behavioral Health (NACBH)
is
an organization which mission is to advance the availability and delivery of
services for children with emotional or behavioral disturbances and their
families (2013).
I
found this organization to be extremely helpful for families and professionals
to receive the resources needed to help children with behavioral challenges.
- Job opportunities (currently available
or not) that interest you
The
organizations websites did not offer any career opportunities but they each
provided volunteer opportunities.
Although the websites did not provide career opportunities, I would love
to work with children on a one on one basis to better meet their needs. Places I
could possibly work at are:
·
Hillside as an Behavioral Specialist or
Teacher
·
Youth Villages as a Behavioral Youth
Counselor
- Skills and experience you would
need to competently fulfill each of these roles
The
skills needed to obtain those jobs include, I must be willing to continue to grow in my
understanding of emotional and behavioral issues as they relate to the child
and well-being of the family, obtain more training on how to interact with the
child in order to help them better cope, as well remaining professional and
hard-working.

Sha'Keema,
ReplyDeleteI checked out the National Coalition for Parental Involvement in Education and found it very helpful in my CoP. Thanks
Sha'Keema, you have chosen some of the more unique jobs where students have behavior problems or disabilities. These are awesome opportunities to help students who are struggling. There is also a Youth Villages in Memphis and it seems to be a great organization on helping those students who need help with behavior as well as learning. I also found that site on NCPI a great asset to my resources as well. Thanks for your information.
