This website is very resourceful. It explains all the research topic this internationl organztion is instrested in. I enjoy exploring this website. I gain insightful thoughts and conclusions about these topics. Especially the research conclusions about involving fathers. Many fathers are not apart of their children lives. When a child does not see a father figure , they really do not have a role model to look up too. I was fortunte to have my father in my life at a young age. I appreciated everything he had done for me in the past.
I think those research topics are great, I especially like the focus on engaging fathers in a young child's life. Having a father figure is an important aspect of a child's life, every child needs a father and a mother in their life, each one of these relationships provides unique and very important attachments. I think the research that supports fathers being involved is very important and needs to be shared!

I think "Curriculum Development using Community resources" is a awesome topic. This is topic that educator are always talking about. We are always making changes to our curriculum of children develop.
ReplyDeleteTameka, the research topic around the importance of fathers is very valuable and it's great you mentioned this because it stirs my interest to check out the Sub-Sahara Africa website. Father's have such an important role in a child's life and having research to support this will hopefully support programs and initiatives to strengthen parent and family engagement in their child's development and education.
