The mission of this organization is:
Our
mission is to promote and support the optimal education and development of
children worldwide, and to influence the professional growth of educators and
the efforts of others who are committed to the needs of children in a changing
society. We have consultative status with the United Nations.
Beliefs
ACEI delivers its humanitarian mission based on a platform of four core
beliefs.
Uniqueness
Each child possesses a unique set of gifts and talents. Educators and
others invested in the education of children should value each child as a
unique and special individual.
Universality
The key
principles that join our world together through the common bonds of human
dignity and respect. All those concerned with the education of children should
uphold these universal principles.
Quality
Educational experiences are enhanced by instructional strategies and learning
environments that offer the very best opportunities for children's learning
within the context of the nation, community, city, town or village in which
children live.
Equality
All children should be educated in environments of fairness where there is
freedom from bias or favoritism and where access to, and participation in,
educational experiences are the cornerstone of the home, school and community.
Although I did not find any
employment positions on this website, I do believe in the work that this
organization does. I believe in what
they stand for and strive to accomplish. There are advocacy and council board leadership roles which one can inquire by contacting the representative.
When
disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there to save lives
with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild
through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the
Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the
ongoing struggles children face every day — poverty, hunger, illiteracy and
disease — and replaces them with hope for the future.
