NAEYC- Ethical Responsibilities to Children
I 1.2 ~ 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.
I believe that as professionals we have to be updates on all information that we teach. The way things worked 10 years ago may not be what is best today. Each child is different and we as professionals should be able to adapt to their needs. Having knowledge of current programs and data will not only help us but help children as well. We have to keep in mind that what we teach should always be what is best for the child. Currently, I use programs that the government provide to help the children I care for. Also, I keep track of what becomes available or is updated. I want to make sure that the tools I'm using for learning is current.
NAEYC- Ethical Responsibilities to the Family
I 2.3 ~To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.It is very essential for parents to be involved in their child development. My desire is to build strong relationship with parents so that the process of educating there child will be peaceful and enjoyable. Not keeping parents involved makes the job harder and not connected with the program. From the first day of any program to the last day parents should on board and involved! On the first that a child is enrolled in my care I have a sit down with the parents and have a meet and greet. I use this time to tell the parents what type of environment the children will be in as well as what programs i use. I ask what the parents expectations are from me and how I can make the experience with their successful.
DEC- Professional Collaboration
2. ~We shall honor and respect the rights, knowledge, and skills of the multidisciplinary colleagues with whom we work recognizing their unique contributions to children, families, and the field of early childhood special education.
Sharing is caring. As professionals we have to keep in mind that not all minds thinks a like. Respecting each other ideas can keep the workplace professional and smooth. Also, learning from each other is always a plus. My goal is to learn something new everyday. I'm determine to rise above the mentality of "every man for themselves". Teamwork makes the dream work and this can be done if we use the above code. Every other weekend I meet with my two siblings to discuss things that happen throughout their week at the day care centers. I use this time to learn from them and they ask me what new programs I discovered. I think us sharing ideas helps make our job easier.
DEC- Professional Development and Preparation
3. ~We shall be responsible for maintaining the appropriate national, state, or other credential or licensure requirements for the services we provide while maintaining our competence in practice and research by ongoing participation in professional development and education activities.
Knowledge is Power! I believe every professional should have all their creditials, licenses, and degree before beginning to teach any child. Children are depending on us (professionals) to give them the best education. There should always be room improvement and we (professionals) should always be looking for programs or activities to better the lives of children. It is my ultimate goal to always be educated and have all necessary paper work for working with children. Currently, working on CDA license, MA Degree, CPR, and First Aid certifications. It is important that I stay update on everything so that I'm always prepared to teach.
