Examining Codes of Ethics
After reviewing the Codes of Ethics from NAEYC and DEC, I found three ideals that are meaningful to me.... From NAEYC's Code of Ethics, I chose:
I-1.1- To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training. This ideal is significant to me because I am a "believer" when it comes to furthering my education and expanding my knowledge in the early childhood field. I am working on my third degree, so continuing education is a given!
I-1.3-To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child. This particular ideal is significant to me because I believe firmly that each child is unique and learns at his/her own pace. I believe that each child has a key that we as early childhood educators have to take the time to dig deep and find. Children are not robots, they are little people that depend on "big people" to understand and help them indentify with themselves.
From DEC's Codes of Ethics, I chose:
Professional and Interpersonal Behavior
4. We shall serve as advocates for children with disablities and their families and for the professionals who serve them by supporting both policy and programmatic decisions that enhance the quality of their lives. This ideal is significant to me because I am a huge advocate for special needs children. I feel that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow to the best of their ability. I will continue to broaden my knowledge of mainstreaming special needs children into early childhood programs and ensure that my staff continues best practice for all children.
