As part of this week's assignment, we were to find at least 3 statements from the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children and NAEYC which we feel passionate about. My choices are as follows:
DEC Code of Ethics:
1. We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.
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.
4. We shall served 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.
NAEYC Code of Ethics:
I-1.3-To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
I-1.4-to appreciated the vulnerability of children and their dependence on adults.
I-1.9-To advocate for and ensure that all children, including those with special needs, have access to the support services needed to be successful.
Each of these statements hit home for me because I have a passion for young children. I believe that we, as educators, should go beyond the norm to ensure a bright future for them.
