Examining Codes of Ethics

Image result for early childhood code of ethics


NAEYC codes of ethics

 

  1. I-1.1To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.

 

It is very important to me to know the base of early childhood care so that I can plan lesson plans that teach my students and leave lasting impressions on them. It is very important to understand the field so that you why you choose it and what you need to do to exceed in it. This is another reason why I plan to never stop furthering my education. I want to be aware of what’s going on so that I can be open to trying new things to improve myself as an teacher so that I may move on to other positions.

 

  1. I-2.3—To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.

Welcoming family members to my classroom to participate in the program is essential to my professional life they are their children first teachers. Family members can help me learn the child better so that they will do well. If the child see’s that we have a positive relationship they will want to stay on the right track so that we both will be pleased. Also parents can contribute a lot to the program when they have a full understanding of it.

 

3. I-3C.1—To promote safe and healthy working conditions and policies that foster mutual respect, cooperation, collaboration, competence, well-being, confidentiality,

and self-esteem in staff members.

 

Team work should be stressed on every job no matter what profession you are in. When everyone works together you get more done. So there for this ethics code is essential to my professional life because when you collaborate with others you learn different things, even if you don’t agree. It is important to stay positive and uplift each other. Especially when working with children because they pick up on the vibes that you throw off. So it is important that we promote these things so that we do our job to the highest of our abilities.

 

DEC code of ethics

 

  1. We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.

 

Showing respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child is significant to my professional life because in this profession you come in contact with many different children and their families. It is important to show them that you can relate to them even if you’ll have differences. It makes them feel more comfortable and more in tune to the environment that they are in.

 

  1. We shall serve as advocates for children with disabilities and their families and for the professionals who serve them by supporting both policy and programmatic decisions that enhance the quality of their lives.

 

All children are special in every way but there are some who just a little more tender love and care. Being an advocate for children with disabilities is important to my professional life because it is my duty to make sure that they have the same chance to learn just like children with non disabilities.  It is my job to make sure that adaption’s and changes are made to the environment and curriculum to fit their individual need. To also be a voice for parents and them if an issue arises.

 

. 3.       We shall respect families’ rights to choose or refuse early childhood special education or related services.

 

There will be certain situations where parents will refuse to different services. So its important that I respect the parents right but still educate on the benefit for their child that the particular service might be.
