Problem: In this Unit, you are introduced to the rights of children and global initiatives for children and families. Be sure to read about Save the Children and UNICEF.
Now, let's take a closer look into our own communities.
- Select an organization in your town, region, or state that provides services to protect/promote children's rights. This may also be a family assistance organization that provides resources and advocates for children and their families.
- Locate the organization's website and provide the link in your response.
Describe what you learned about the organization. Respond to ALL of the following questions:
- When was this organization started?
- Whom do they serve?
- What are the mission, goals, and outcomes of the organization?
- How do children and families access the services of the organization?
- Discuss and identify why your community needs or does not need the services offered by the organization.
In response to your peers, analyze and explain how this information might influence your teaching practices.
