Sharing Web Resources!

The purpose of this website is to release information on the nationwide nonpartisan, nonprofit network called Voices for Children. This organization leads advocacy efforts at the community, state and federal levels to improve the lives of all children. The mission of this website educates public officials and the general public alike on issues that affect America’s children, especially those most vulnerable. Voices for Children are not a direct service group; they supplement the work of direct service groups that help children individually by impacting government policies and investments that help millions at a time.
This website is well planned out and easy to use. You would get comfortable at first hand. Entering the website you will see eight tabs across the top of the home page. On the home page you would see some important information on the screen. It is alright to click on any of the information to read about the organization. The first tab is the About tab. This tab allows you lean about the organization, and including letter from CEO, information on staff, annual report, and funding partners. Next, it is the Issues tab. This tab shows all the most important issues for children. The issues are: Equity and Diversity, Health, School Readiness, School Success, Safety, and Economic Stability. The following tab is Take Action. This tab allows you donate and/or get involved. Then, it is the Blog tab. The fifth tab is Member Organizations. This tab shows all networks available throughout the world. Next to that is the Media tab, which allows you access to any new releases from the organization. The sixth tab is the Research tab. Finally the last tab is the Make a Donation tab. These tabs will help you explore the information on this website.
The information on this website really shows how important education really is. So many people in this world are here trying to find a better education for future leaders. This information will help you understand why every voice for good education is very important. To gain a full understanding of this website is to start with the about tab. From there you should go in order. Each tab is very important, so take a look at them all.
There was so much important information that was cover on this website. There were three tabs that stood out to me they are Issues, Media, and Research tabs. The issues tab talks about six policy goals to advance in their vision. There are: Equity and Diversity, Health, School Readiness, School Success, Safety, and Economic Stability. As educators, we know these issues are throughout the world. Many parents and caregivers want so much for their children but do nothing about it. Instead of wanting they need to start demanding better issues for their children. So many children go lacking because of little help. The Media tab shows news releases, about voices, annual report and biography of CEO. The news releases bullet point show many articles that have been written about the organization. The articles shows how the organization strives to provide better education. The Research tab really shows how the whole organization is run. The articles written by staff and others are very informative. Reading those articles I got a better understanding on the purpose of Voices for Children.
As educator, this website shows my appreciation for early childhood. This website shows how important it is to stand for good education.

    Thank you!
