Early Childhood Professional Ideals
To participate in building support networks for families by
providing them with opportunities to interact with program staff, other
families, community resources, and professional services (NAEYC, 2005, p. 4).
The importance of support is what
drives people to continue to help each other. Knowing that someone has your
back every step of the way can positively influence a child and those around
him/her.
To base program practices upon current knowledge and
research in the field of early childhood education, child development, and
related disciplines, as well as on particular knowledge of each child (NAEYC,
2005, p. 2).
The importance of current teaching
is what will keep ideas fresh and new. Children learn different today than they
did ten years ago, especially with advancements in technology.
We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children and to provide services and support in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children (The Division for Early Childhood, 2000, p.3).
The
importance of being fair is what brings respect and honor to leaders. People
desire to be
treated fairly in all aspects of
life, and early childhood is no exception.

You picked some good ethical codes, children are really our future. As educators we are automatically leaders, being fair is part of leadership. It is a constant struggle to show fairness, either it will help a family/child or hurt a family/child.
ReplyDeleteSupport networks are very important in all walks of life. By supporting one another and networking together, we can only have positive outcomes and learn from each other.
ReplyDeleteThe code of ethics who chose are highly great. With the support of one another. How can we go wrong? How & what a child learn today is very much different years ago is a true statement. Because how I was taught in years ago in school was very much different as my adult years. Teachers made it much harder and less understanding.
ReplyDeleteYour right! This field we all need to work together and use our network of support. This will only improve our own level of education for have positive outcomes for children.
ReplyDeleteI love the ethic codes you picked. I love the last ethic about the importance of being fair no matter the situation. People deserve to be treated fair no matter how old or young. At times I believe people forget that with you children! Thanks for you post!
