My advocacy action plan is dedicated to making developmental screening a mandatory part of early childhood education. Developmental screening has so many great benefits to our children, parents, and educators. While making my plan, I came up with various ways to try and target my audience. I plan on doing so through information packet, holding meetings, making multimedia presentations and going into other early childhood settings to pass out pamphlets.
I would like to know if any of my colleague's have any other approaches that i can use to reach out to my audience? Does anyone have any other people in mind that I might benefit from talking and meeting with? I would also like to kow how you all will deal with the opposers of your plan and their views? So far I have found the Kieff text to be relativley helpful, and the google search engine for anything else I want to research.

Module 3 Blog Post: Where the Action Is
"No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure."
-Emma Goldman
What inspires and excites me the most about my advocacy plan and being an advocate is the fact that I get to help our children. Because the children are our future, I feel that it is my goal to provide them with the best quality education and resources possible to make sure that it is a bright future we have. The challenges that I have related to engaging in the advocacy efforts I have targeted included developing short and long term goals. When I think of short term goals, I think of things I want to accomplish today, this week, this month. When I think of long term goals, I think of things that I want to accomplish within the next couple of years. I want to make sure that I make goals that are realistic and not to lofty. It is quite a challenge for me still. With the help of my colleagues, I will over come this challenges and the anxieties of presenting. After reading some my colleagues, I am able to see their short and long term goals as an example. By the end of this course, I should be confident to present my action plan. After doing so many assignments, developing the action plan, and reading my Kieff text, I should be ready. We can all encourage each other by reminding ourselves who these plans are for. They are for the children to prosper and achieve their full potential. If we keep the one goal of our children at hand, we can accomplish any thing.
