Each one of these speaks to me in different areas, the "over all" section are code of ethics to live by.
Child &
Family
To listen to families, acknowledge
and build upon their strengths and competencies, and learn from families as we
support them in their task of nurturing children. (NAEYC)
To ensure that each child’s culture,
language, ethnicity, and family structure are recognized and valued in the
program. (NAEYC)
Professionalism
We shall strive for the highest level
of personal and professional competence by seeking and using new evidence based
information to improve our practices while also responding openly to the
suggestions of others. (DEC)
Co-Workers
When we have concerns about the
professional behavior of a co-worker, we shall first let that person know of
our concern in a way that shows respect for personal dignity and for the
diversity to be found among staff members, and then attempt to resolve the
matter collegially and in a confidential manner. (NAEYC)
Over all
To work through education, research, and advocacy toward an environmentally safe world in which all children receive health care, food, and shelter; are nurtured; and live free from violence in their home and their communities. (NAEYC)
We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and others with whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture. (DEC)
Tina,
ReplyDeleteI also chose the code that you have for professionalism. It is something that I truly believe in, because our passion is a thirst for knowledge.
I agree that we must listen and build upon the strengths of families. We have to work with them and show them we are supporting them and the student and that we are working hard to meet the needs of the students as well as the families. Good post.

ReplyDeleteThis really says it all. If we work to achieve this goal. We should achieve success.
