ReplyDeleteThe Director of Equity and Outreach position is very intriguing to me. It is interesting to think about job positions outside of our comfort zone as early childhood teachers, that still utilize our education properly. I love the idea of thinking outside the box and finding ways to build a meaningful career related to child advocacy.
ReplyDeleteI like the job of Equity and Outreach, Its something I think about more lately with our swtich to distance learning and with the parameters set by our state. IT would be an interesting job but would require lots of knowledge and awareness about the laws and recent regulations changing with the times.
