Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct
3 Ideas that stood out to me in this code of ethic are:

• Ethical Responsibilities to Children : 
  I-1.9-- To advocate for and ensure that all children,

  including those with special needs, have access to the

  support services needed to be successful.

   

  This standard means a lot to me as a professional because it is important to me that all children receive a quality education. I group up in a low income area and most of the children in the area were not in any type of early education program. As I grow as a professional I want to make it know how important it is for are all students to revive an education in the early years. Later when I operate my own center I want all children to have access to all the services they need in order to be successful.

   

  •  Ethical Responsibilities to Families:
  •  I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and
    create partnerships with the families we serve.
     
    It is important that relationships are built with families so that they feel comfortable leaving their child at the particular location. Family involvement in the education of a child is key to the development of the child. This is of significance to me as a professional because I have learned that having a mutual relationship with parents allows for the classroom to run smoother and it lets them know that you care about their child. It keeps them informed with their child's development and it also makes them more acceptable to advice that you may give. The relation is important to have to ensure that that child is receiving all that they can. 
     
     

   

  •  Ethical Responsibilities to Colleague:
    I-3A.1—To establish and maintain relationships of
    respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration, and
    cooperation with co-workers.
     
    As a professional it is important that you maintain a positive relationship with coworkers to ensure that there is a healthy work enviornment. It is important that we work collaborative in the classroom because a child is always watching you and how you behavior will be picked up by those children. Having a positive and trustworthy relationship allows for my classrooms or any classroom to operate smoothly. Having these relationship allows for positive influence on the children and a safe learning environment.
    
    
    
    
    DEC Code of Ethics
    3 ideas that stood out to me are as follow: 
     
    •  Evidence Based Practice: We shall use every resource, including referral
      when appropriate, to ensure high quality services
      are accessible and are provided to children and families
    This is important to me as a professional because there is always a child/family that is going to need help in some area and if I am not able to help them, I want to point them into the right direction. I believe that every child deserves to have quality education so that they can succeed in life. I want to be able to do all that I can to help assist the child and family with any issue that they are being faced with.
    
    
    • Responsive Family Centered Practice: We shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality of the children and families we serve by protecting all forms of verbal, written, and electronic communication.  

   

                      It is important to me that we protect the confidentiality of children and families because of the issues that children and families are faced with. For example a child may have an issue with speech and a teacher lets it be known to everyone;' that could cause the child to get picked on which in the long run will affect the emotionally and socially. The same can happen with parents. As a professional it is important that I maintain a positive work environment and a constructive business. Without doing this it could potentially put yourself, coworkers and business at risk.
