Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC

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.

DEC codes of ethics

4. We shall serve as advocates for children with disabilities and their families and for the
professionals who serve them by supporting both policy and programmatic decisions that
enhance the quality of their lives.

6) We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning. 

3. We shall recognize and respect the dignity, diversity, and autonomy of the families and children
we serve.
 
4. We shall advocate for equal access to high quality services and supports for all children and
families to enhance their quality of lives. 

I picked these 5 ideals because they relate to my past professional growth in the Early Childhood Field, my current growth and my future growth. I have always been an active professional in the Early Childhood Field and started building my knowledge with my A.A> and B.S. degree. I also took continuing training courses and went to ECE seminars. I have continued my education by now studying to get my Masters in ECE-Teaching and Diversity. My Masters will enable me to have a deeper understanding and focus of the DEC ethics I picked. i feel children's diversity and learning differences are not used to help them and taught in class. The classroom environment and instruction has mostly been non-individualistic and I want to help teachers and society create more diverse and differentiated curriculum, materials, programs, informational products and supplies to help meet the needs of the whole child for every child.

  1. Good evening,
    I love how you want to individualize your teaching. Diversity education and tolerance is an important skill to foster. If we teach children at a young age to respect all humans' background, then the more likely they will grow respecting diversity in adulthood.

  4. Thanks for making this class more enjoyable by letting us get to know you professionally and personally. I hope you get your four kids with unusual names (three of mine were suppose to be unusual). Best of luck in your education. You are a great early educational professional!
