This week we reviewed the code of ethics from the
National Association of Education of Young Children and the Division for Early
Childhood. All of the positions stated are significant to me but these are the
three that stood out to me.
1. We
shall use individually appropriate assessment strategies including multiple
sources of information such as observations, interviews with significant
caregivers, formal and informal assessments to determine children’s learning
styles, strengths, and challenges. (DEC)
This
is significant to me because I believe that every child learns differently.
It’s important to understand how they learn. We should build upon their
strengths and direct more focus on difficult areas. We should pay careful
attention to the child’s learning skills to help them achieve and learn more.
2. We
shall respect, value, promote, and encourage the active participation of ALL
families by engaging families in meaningful ways in the assessment and
intervention processes. (DEC)
Working
together with families is important for the child’s success. The family should
be informed and active about what is going on with their child’s education. If
the child is having any learning problems, the parents and I must work on a
consistent basis to figure solutions for the child.
3. To be familiar with the knowledge base of
early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing
education and training. (NAEYC)
The
early years are so important, so knowledge of early childhood care and
education is crucial to me. I want to start my own daycare therefore I should
continue my education and training to benefit my future student. I want to
provide the best child care, so I need to be properly educated and trained to
offer the family and child the best.
