Code of Ethics

This week we were required to read the articles regarding the code of ethics for early childhood education.
In addition, identify three that are meaningful to us and how they will become a part of our professional life.

According to the Division for Early Childhood, " we shall build relationships with individual children and families where individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young childrens development and learning." It is important that we involve families of young children in the classroom because once we establish a true relationship with them it will resonate with their children in the classroom.

According to the NAEYC, "effective public policy advocacy work requires intentionality, which in turn requires organization.  If all of us work independently without a well-defined vision and capacity to act and react to changing political, social and economic contexts, we will not make the progress that is needed.  If we work together strategically, we can cause the changes that we seek for children, families, and the professionals in the field.

All three ideals are significant to my professional growth because it is necessary to adhere to the statements to become an effective educator and understand what entails to help educate young children.

According to the Division for Early Childhood, "we shall use individually appropriate assessment strategies including multiple sources of information such as observations, interviews with significant caregivers, formal and informal assesments to determine childrens' learning styles, strengths and challenges.
