Examining
Codes of Ethics
•
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.
•
I-1.5-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-1.12 -To work with families to provide a safe
and smooth transition as children and families move from one program to the
next.
I have chosen the
above three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics as being
meaningful to me because they are all significant to the fact that their
children are first priority. I chose
ideal 1.5 because it speaks to the thought that the children should also have a
voice. I believe that as a professional,
in order to be a leader, I must also know how to be a follow and that means
listening to the voice and thoughts of the children. Lastly, I chose to ideal 1.12
because working together with the families to assist in a smooth transition
from one program or grade level to another helps build a strong community bond
and support which is imperative to any professional venture. Therefore, once the families know that you
sincerely care and go the extra mile, they are more willing to share and assist
with any of your needs and concerns to obtain the overall goal of being there
for the children.
Hi Neketha,
ReplyDeleteWe have come a long way since the first week of this course, and I want to tell you personally thank you for the support. I have been inspired by all of my colleagues during these eight weeks, and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to connect with you all. It was a struggle in the beginning, but I noticed you learned how to post your pictures along the way (lol).
Thanks a bunch,
T'Juana
Neketha,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for your contributions to the discussion board and also the entries you have shared on your blog.

Until then, keep up the great work. You are inspiring!
