Position: Step by Step Early Childhood Teacher
Though not currently
advertised I would love to work for an association that promotes curiosity and
creativity as cornerstones of their curriculum.
“The International Step by Step Association
(ISSA) is a membership organization that connects professionals and
organizations working in the field of early childhood development and
education. ISSA promotes equal access to quality education and care for all
children, especially in the early years of their lives. Established in the
Netherlands in 1999, ISSA’s network today stretches across the globe from
Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia, Asia, and the Americas.”
“The role of the
teacher is to facilitate children’s learning and create a community of
learners. Teachers do not strive to be fountains of knowledge. Rather, teachers
create a climate for learning, exemplifying the qualities that should be
developed in children—intellectual curiosity,
independent learning, enthusiasm, empathy and caring.
Teachers interact with
children as they work and play. They observe and listen to children, record and
evaluate their observations, and plan developmentally appropriate learning
activities. In an environment where teachers encourage children to pursue their
interests, children develop a strong sense of importance and self-initiative.”
Position: UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador
I would love to promote literacy through a worldwide organization.
“The UNESCO Goodwill
Ambassadors are an outstanding group of celebrity advocates who spread the
ideals of UNESCO through their name and fame. They extend and amplify UNESCO's
work and mission and have generously accepted to use their talent and status to
help focus the world's attention on the work of UNESCO. Through their careers
and humanitarian commitment they have made an important contribution towards
the objectives and aims in UNESCO's four fields of competence, which are
education, culture, science and communication/information.”
Position: Director,
School & Community Services (Director I, Portfolio Management)
This position allows for growth and influence through a major worldwide corporation.

Development, Civil Society, Gender, Youth, Research and Technology– creating a unique mix of capabilities to address

“The Department

demonstrate substantive and technical leadership for the department’s practice
areas, and to be in a position to provide technical oversight of personnel
within the Department. The Department Director, supported by central financial
and management services, is also responsible for the project financial
