You will use these skills to contribute to professional, in-field knowledge through the creation of three products for your Public Policy Tool Kit: a statement of the importance of advocacy in the early childhood education field, an infographic on parental involvement, and a letter to a member of Congress.NOTE: This is a three-part assignment.Part 1: Importance of Advocacy in Early Childhood EducationThis part of your Tool Kit will demonstrate your ability to examine and communicate the importance of advocacy in early childhood education.To complete this assignment, create a 3-page document about advocacy in early childhood education that answers the following questions:What is advocacy?
Why is advocacy important to early childhood education?
What is your role as an early childhood educator in making legislative changes?

What strategies/tips would you use to help families advocate for their children?
The document must use a professional tone appropriate for early childhood educators and can be a written report, chart, or other visual representation as long as it is original work. If you are submitting a chart or other form of visual representation, make sure to add paragraphs of commentary to provide more detailed information to support the points contained in the document. Include a separate reference page formatted according to APA standards.Your document can be created using a variety of Microsoft tools including: Word, PowerPoint, or Publisher. (If you would like to use a different tool, please discuss it with your instructor before proceeding.)Part 2: Infographic on Parental InvolvementAn infographic is a way to present information quickly and clearly through the use of a visual representation.
