3 Ideas from the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct
I-1.2—To base program practices upon current knowledge
and research in the field of early childhood
education, child development, and related disciplines,
as well as on particular knowledge of each child.
I-1.9—To advocate for and ensure that all children,
including those with special needs, have access to the
support services needed to be
I-2.4—To listen to families, acknowledge and build upon
their strengths and competencies, and learn from
families as we support them in their task of nurturing
children. successful
These 3 ideas from the NAEYC code of ethical conduct especially are meaningful to me in that I believe that if I stay current in early childhood, it will assist me in making guided decisions for best practices. Staying current will also assist me in advocating better for the needs of children ,along with building on the strengths of the family .
3 Ideas from the DEC Code of Ethics
We shall demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity, truthfulness, and honesty in all
our professional activities in order to inspire the trust and confidence of the children and families
and of those with whom we work.
We shall empower families with information and resources so that they are informed consumers
of services for their children.
We shall include the diverse perspectives and experiences of children and families in the conduct
of research and intervention.
I believe that families need to be empowered with resources so that they can properly advocate for their children. I also believe that it is a professional obligation to walk in honesty and integrity. It is important to include experiences when educating children that are relevant to their experiences.
I have worked in ECE for 18 years, and research findings and best practices have changed dramatically in that time. I agree that is is imperative to keep abreast of current trends, as they keep discovering new ideas about what is best for children.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to I-1.9 I feel very strongly about this issue. A child does not ask to be here nor does a child ask to have a disability. Special needs children should never be turned away because of a disability. Everyone needs assistance in life, just some need it more than others.
