NAEYC Ideals - Responsibilities to co-workers
I-3A.2 To share resources with co-workers, collaborating to ensure that the best possible early childhood care and education program is provided.
I-4.4 To work through education, research, and advocacy toward a society in which all young children have access to high-quality early care and education programs.
Division of Early Childhood - Code of Ethics
Personal and Interpersonal Behavior
2. We shall demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity, truthfulness, and honesty in all our professional activities in order to inspire the trust and confidence of the children and families and of those with whom we work.
The NAEYC ideals I chose are meaningful to me because I don't work directly with children and families but do work directly with others in the early childhood field. We must continually keep current with research in order to educate early childhood professionals so they can provide the best care and education to the children and families they serve. There are many diverse programs all related to children and families. These programs must collaborate to bring about the best results in a community.
I felt like the ideal from the DEC could apply to any profession. If you are going to be considered a professional in your field, you must conduct yourself in a manner that others want to respect. I am not impressed by how much someone knows, but who they are as a person and how they treat others.
I really like the standard from DEC you chose. I too chose this standard. I feel like this is an important standard to have in order to create a safe environment for all involved.
ReplyDeleteI see you chose the same one from DEC. It is so important to demonstrate high standards in our professional duties. If we expect to gain the trust of children, their parents,our colleagues, and others that we encounter we have to exhibit honesty and posses good moral character in our profession at all times. My grandma always would say, "Your name will go farther than you will ever go, so and keep a good name."
ReplyDeleteThe first standard you shared is perhaps the most important one. As facilitators we are obligated to share "what works."
ReplyDeleteI also love your blog. The love video on executive functioning. The blog was very informative and organized. I wish you the best in obtaining your graduate degree.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your blog posts, you have a lot of information to offer to us as colleagues and others in the field of early childhood field. I appreciate all the information that you have provided and wish you the best of luck in all your future classes. Also good luck in work.
