Children
We shall care for and educate children in positive emotional
and social environments that are cognitively stimulating and that support each
child’s culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure. (NAEYC)
The best way to demonstrate that we care is by respecting
the child’s background and the value that it represents for a child.
Family
To listen to families, acknowledge and build upon their
strengths and competencies, and learn from families as we support them in their
task of nurturing children. (NAEYC)
Acknowledge that every family has something positive to
contribute, no matter how minute it could be.
Co-Workers
To create and maintain a climate of trust and candor that
will enable staff to speak and act in the best interests of children, families,
and the field of early childhood care and education. (NAEYC)
We need to believe on the potential of our fellow co-workers
because they will be the ambassadors of our thinking; we do these by stating a
common goal and sharing our knowledge with them.
Professionalism
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. (DEC)
Our passion demands us to improve.
Elisa,
ReplyDeleteI love "Our passion demands us to improve." Where did you find that? I really feel that is so important for a personal and professional code of ethics. Our school requires everyone to take an EC class each year, although I hear moans and groans to begin with, as their class progresses I see that passion that translates to improvement in their work. I think I'll use that one in our fall inservice.
Thank you my friend
It is very essential that we create a climate of trust with our coworkers. This is so important to building great relationships and also helps when students see that the educators are all working together for the good of the students. Great post.
ReplyDeleteWe as early childhood educators must respect the beliefs of the families we come in contact with. We also should respect the diverse cultures of each child and family, communication is the key to understanding our children and their families.
ReplyDeleteWell said! It is so easy to forget your passion when you bogged down by the mundane, fussy details. We should all remember why we are in the profession in the first place: for the children. To improve your craft, therefore, is to subsequently improve the life of a child.
ReplyDeleteI like the ideal

This true because as professionals it is impossible to reach famlilies or to gain rapport, if we fail to listen, understand, build them up as a whole instead of breaking them apart or setting them up to fail.
It has indeed been a pleasure reading your blogs and your assignments in class. You will be a jewel in the education department. The world is definitely in need of more people like you who are motivated and willing to do what it takes to make things better. I wish you well in your endeavors and pray God's blessings upon you!!!
