Codes of Ethics- NAEYC and DEC

Codes of Ethics- NAEYC and DEC.
The three ideals that I find meaningful to my career in the NAEYC code of ethics are :
Ethical responsibility to children- 1-1.3
To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities and potential of each child.
Each child is unique indeed and can not be treated in a certain way, as an educator I need to find means to make each child in my care comfortable and happy. It is the educator’s duty to study each and every child’s learning style for instance and also understand weaknesses and find solutions to these.
Ethical responsibility to Families-1-2.3
To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.
It is a wonderful experience to see a child make progress when you work with the family, I think it gives the child assurance of the love and support and there is bound to be positive results.
Ethical responsibility to the colleagues – 1-3A.1
To establish and maintain relationships of trust, confidentiality, collaboration and co-operation with co workers.
This is something I am personally working on, I was trying to resolve an issue with my staff and the above ideal was my intention from the bottom of my heart, but the reaction I got from a colleague was very un expected and I thought about the principles relating to having concerns about professional behaviour and let her know but showing respect to her and in confidence had a discussion.
The three ideals that I find meaningful to my career in the DEC code of ethics are:
Professional Practice. Professional and interpersonal behaviour-
We shall serve as advocates for children with disabilities and their families and for the professionals who serve them by supporting both policy and programmatic decisions that enhance the quality of their lives.
Families are not always prepared to have a disabled child and need support and information on the services provided and the condition of the child. We as educators need to advocate for even more help wherever possible.
Professional Development and Preparation
We shall engage in ongoing and systemic reflective inquiry and self assessment for the purpose of continuous improvement of professional performance and services to young children with disabilities and their families.
This ideal is important in that it would not be right to base your work with the children on guess work, one needs to improve on their skills and seek guidance where necessary.
Ethical and Evidence Based Practises
We shall rely upon evidence based research and interventions to inform our practice with children and families in our care.
As a professional I think this is the right way especially where people are relying on you for information and for the child’s progress
