DEC (Division of Early Childhood) - Code of Ethics
that are significant to me:
“We
shall build relationships with individual children and families while
individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young
children’s development and learning.”
o
This code represents how teachers should
get the families involved in their child’s education and how it’s important for
teachers to create learning environments that support each child’s learning
style.
“We
shall honor and respect the diverse backgrounds of our colleagues including
such diverse characteristics as sexual orientation, race, national origin,
religious beliefs, or other affiliations.”
o
Early childhood professionals need to
understand that we are all working towards a common goal, and that is to
educate, nurture, and support children.
Professionals need to be respectful of each other’s diverse characteristics
and work together to make a positive impact in a child’s life.
NAEYC (National Association for the Education of
Young Children)-Ideals
“To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and
potential of each child.”
o
Each child has their own unique personality and way of
learning. Early childhood professionals
should acknowledge and respect this in order to support each child. In my classroom, I give each child ample one
on one time to support their individual needs and teach them at a pace that is
comfortable for them.
