Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Level

Reflecting on the CoP that I have begun to refine and truly see the fit of how the pieces come together I find that there are a few National Agencies that I must include.

1.     Kids Included Together (KIT)

KIT is a wealth of information, counselors, and trainings that are everything and anything about inclusion. Reaching out and networking more with the nationwide counselors and trainers rather than the local support. Being able to converse with professionals within the organization is an important component connecting and networking while learning.

2.     Inspiring Spaces

Incorporating the Rosie effect of the spectrum of creating a home like environment is a part of our regulations and guidelines. The organization is not about inclusion; however, it is about interior classroom design. The resources and trainings I have attended are informative and attainable.

3.     NAEYC

Incorporating the information on building relationships, while following guidelines to be followed for accreditation will be important.



I would say the job I am most interested would still be the Training Curriculum specialist. However, I have begun to also research teaching for the local charter school in their VPK program.

  1. Stephanie,
    Thanks for sharing about your national level organizations and job opportunities. I have not heard of Kids Included Together or Inspiring Spaces group. I will take some time this week to check them out.

Just like Darci said I have not heard of Kids Included Together or Inspiring Spaces group, I too would love to learn more about them. Good luck on your journey when you leave the course and go into the community.

  4. Hello Stephanie,
    Thank you for sharing your post about the National level organizations. Just like Judy, Darci, and Samantha, I have never heard of KIT and Inspiring Spaces. What makes you want to go into Training Curriculum specialist? What is the most important thing that draws you in?
