Three NAEYC Code of Ethics
This code of ethics was important to me beacuse after reading week seven resource, Children's emotional development is built into the architecture of their brains by the National Scientific Council on the Developing child, I've learned that children can not learn higher level skills if their basic skills (emotions) are not developed properly.
I-2.9 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.
One of my goals is to create a support group for single parent families at the centere where I am employed. So that through this group families could discuss issues that pertain to the development and rearing of their children along with receiving information: about child development and community resources
I-4.6 To promote knowledge and understanding of young children and their needs. To work toward greater societal acknowledgment of children's rights and greater social acceptance of responsibility for the well-being of all children
This code is meaningful because it also one of my current desires to inform families of the importance of the young years
Three DEC Code of Ethics
1.) 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.
2.) We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.
3.) We shall empower families with information and resources so that they are informed consumers of services for their children
These three DEC code of ethics are important because they all reflect the professionalism that educators should aspire to have while serving children and their families.
