Module 4 - Enlisting and Providing Support

 Questions you have with which your colleagues may be able to provide help and support

Is there another way my voice can be heard that I may be missing for this advocacy plan?

If you are a parent what would you like to see more of in schools to promote literacy?



Resources and information you are seeking










I am seeking ways to lessen my time....I don't want it to be too boring....I want it to be informative but also not bore my crowd. 

I am also looking for ways to calm myself before this presentation. :) I have such strong feelings for early literacy that I am hoping once I get started that I'll calm down but I'm just so nervous that I'll forget something important to stress because I'm so nervous. 


Resources and/or information you have found helpful and insightful













I really found this website to be extremely helpful and have a lot of information in it.

Initial blog-Module 3

A quote that I love and is very inspirational is "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." Sir Richard Steele

My advocacy plan is on early literacy.  This topic is very improtant to me because most of a child's learning and development happens in the preschool years.  The preschool years are also a lot of times the over looked years. 

I have a little anxiety about presenting my plan to so many "important" adults. 

I believe a lot of reviewing my plan before presenting it will help me out a lot also I think making sure a lot of the people I do my field experience with being there will help calm me down.

My advice for others is review and practice.  Make sure you know what you are talking about....look over your plan every day and just know what you want to get across to those you are presenting.
