Code of Ethics

There were many codes that were meaningful to me as I read through this weeks assignments. However, there were three that really struck at my heart as being the most near and dear to me.

The first one came from NAEYC core value section- "Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage

of the human life cycle" I think that it is so important to let kids be kids. They have a whole different way of learning and understanding their world. I feel that it is so important to support and nurture that kind of thinking. I am a teacher who wholly supports the play base approach to learning and using exploration and key experience to teach my children.

The second one also came from NAEYC the Ideals section- "I-1.3 To recognize and respect the unique qualities,

abilities, and potential of each child." Each and every child that we see has is their own unique individual. They all learn differently and see the world in a different way. Being able to see this and work with how your students learn best will only help to add to their successes in school and life long learning. Setting a good strong foundation early is key to helping EACH student succeed and EVERY student now matter their background, learning level, etc, can be successful. It's our job to help them see what they are capable of.

The third comes from the DEC  Responsive Family Centered Practices section-"We shall empower families with information and resources so that they are informed consumers of services for their children." Parents are their child's first teacher and greatest advocate. They know their children better than anyone else can, so giving them the tools they need in order to support their children is an essential part of our job.
