Association for Childhood Education International: A Pioneer in Child Development and Education
Childhood Education International (CEI) is a non-profit organization that has been working at the intersection of education, human development, and international development since 1892. With over a century of experience in promoting quality education for children worldwide, CEI has become a pioneer in child development and education.
CEI's mission is to promote innovative solutions to improve the quality of education for children around the world. The organization believes that every child deserves access to high-quality education that prepares them for success in life. To achieve this goal, CEI works with educators, policymakers, and communities to develop effective strategies that address the unique needs of each child.
One of CEI's core values is inclusivity. The organization recognizes that every child has different learning needs and abilities. Therefore, it advocates for inclusive educational practices that ensure all children have equal opportunities to learn and grow.
CEI also emphasizes the importance of early childhood education (ECE). Research shows that ECE plays a critical role in shaping a child's future success. Therefore, CEI works with partners around the world to promote access to high-quality ECE programs.
Another area where CEI focuses its efforts is on teacher professional development (PD). The organization recognizes that teachers are key players in ensuring quality education for all children. Therefore, it provides PD opportunities for teachers worldwide through workshops, conferences, online courses, and other resources.
In addition to its work on ECE and teacher PD, CEI also advocates for policies that support quality education globally. It collaborates with governments and other organizations worldwide to develop policies aimed at improving educational outcomes.
One example of such advocacy work is its involvement in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 4 aims at ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all by 2030. As an active member of SDG 4 steering committee since 2016; Childhood Education International contributes towards achieving this goal by advocating policy changes globally while providing technical assistance where needed most.
Overall; Childhood Education International continues its legacy as an influential player in promoting innovative solutions towards improving global educational outcomes while advocating inclusivity as well as early childhood learning initiatives among others."
