NAEYC Code of Ethics
-To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions.
I think it’s very important as teachers to create a welcoming and safe environment for our students. I want the families to know that their children are in good hands. I will continue to allow my children to explore many opportunities within the classroom while knowing that they are protected as well.
-To develop relationships with the knowledge base related to working effectively with families and to stay informed through continuing education and training.
I feel that all professionals should continue their education in the field of early childhood. We should always be aware of new information that involves dealing with our young children.
-To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.
As a teacher at a head start, I always welcome families to volunteer in the classroom. This allows families to interact with their child and to form a better relationship with the teacher. It gives parents the opportunity to know what their child is learning at school daily.
DEC Code of Ethics
-We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and others with whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture.
-No matter whether its a child, family or any person from a different background, we should show them respect. No one should be judged on their beliefs in the world. As a head start teacher, I know that all children and families are different and that’s why I feel that this code of ethic is important. It will help others to understand not to discriminate against others.
-We shall provide services and supports to children and families in a fair and equitable manner while respecting families’ culture, race, language, socioeconomic status, marital status, and sexual orientation.
I feel that all families no matter the race, religion, statuses of a person should receive support to help with their young child. This ethic relate to my professional life because, my job provides students with many different resources for the child. (Dental and speech screenings)
-We shall strive for the highest level of personal and professional competence by seeking and using new evidence based information to improve our practices while also responding openly to the suggestions of others.
Any advocate for early childhood education should obtain any knowledge that involves working with young children. There is always new information that we can learn about. We should always listen to others suggestions to help in the field because some people ideas are better than others.
To guarante safe learning or working environment is a prerequisite for healthy operations. As an educator I will place a high premium on guaranting safety for the child, the teacher and families so that these individuals can thrive and be productive in all spheres of life. Following the availability of safety environment will be healthy operations at all levels, thereby enabling the individuals to update themselves with current developments in this vital field of childhood education.
ReplyDeleteWe shared many of the same ideals. I think that all environments for children should be safe and positive and look foward to working with people like you to make this happen.
