Code of Ethics

By Saturday, post three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to you, and explain their significance to your professional life.
Responsive Family Centered Practice are the one of the ideals contained in the DEC Code of Ethics that are meaningful to me.  I believe that any program that is for children should be family centered.  Its the family that should be the center of any child's life. No family looks or acts alike.  Ideal and activities that are important to one family may not be in another. 
 

In the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct have core values that are similar to the DEC code of ethics.  One of the key core values is that  we as professionals should " recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect. "  This statement expands beyond familiar relationships. Any adult that a child is in contact with, should understand that they both benefit from a positive relationship. The other principle that I believe is important is that, "Above all we shall not harm children."  Just like doctors take an oath to not knowingly and willingly cause undo harm to their patient, we as teachers must do harm not only physically but mentally or emotionally. We must understand that as an  adult we are weaved into that child's life no matter how small the interaction.  As adults we can benefit by learning many ideas from and doing new things with children.  That's how I believe generations grow like a flower,  From a seed, children must be nurtured by watering them with love and allowing them to shine in the sun of knowledge to grow to their full potential

  1. Your blog has really helped in my professional growth at Walden. I would like to Thank You for your support in my endevor to continue my education at Walden University. Most of the students would have not even started a blog if it was not a requirement of the course, but many I feel will continue tokeep up with their blogs to keep in contact with the first group of colleagues they have meant at Walden University.
