Examining Codes of Ethics



The 3 ideals contained in NAEYC and DEC code of ethics that are important to me are: 
                    
1) DEC I. Professional Practice, I find this especially important to me because I am fairly new to the field. I am in the process now of getting professional development. There is still a lot more that I need to learn. It is my duty as an early childhood professional to maintain high standards for all children. To treat the children and families with respect and make sure that the children feel safe.

2)   NAEYC I 1.11 To provide all children with experiences in a language that they know, as well as support children in maintaining the use of their home language and in learning English. This is a part of the DEC code of ethics that I really admire. I have always admired learning about other languages and cultures. It allows a child to become a world citizen and experience a culture that is not their own. It is very fun and a child can still be proud of who they are regardless of their background. 

 3)  NAEYC I3-A.1 To establish and maintain relationships of respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration, and cooperation with co-workers. To me it is highly important to have great relationships with other co-workers so that there can be a positive environment in the workplace. Tension among other professionals is not good and can affect the children as well creating chaos.

  1. Angel professional practice is very important. I also I agree with you that we should maintain relationships based on respect. I think everyone deserves respect when it comes to our field. We should respect ourselves, the children, our families, and our co workers. the truth is that we are a big family and need to respect one another. Great blog!

  2. Hi Angel,

    Welcome to this field, when did you join? I am fairly new to this field in the sense that I only have been doing this for about 8 years, and I have to blame my age for that. I also believe that it is important to have a great positive environment in the work place, Since our job can be stressful from time-to-time, I think it's very important to have a calming place.
