IDEALS
CONTAINED IN NAEYC AND DEC CODE OF ETHICS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL AND SIGNIFICANT
TO MY PROFESSINAL LIFE
-To be familiar with the knowledge
base of early childhood care and Education and to stay informed through continuing
education and training
This ideal is
significant to my professional life because I believe that for one to be called
a Professional in the early childhood field there is the need to understand
what it is all about. To achieve this, is through continuing education and training.
This will enable one to continue to grow and perform better in the field.I believe
it is our responsibility as educators of young children to equip ourselves
continuously with the required and appropriate
knowledge, if we are truly concern about their growth and development.
-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
Culture, language,
beliefs, Values and customs play very important roles in the life of a child in
relation to his family and his environment. These elements consciously and
unconsciously affect the personality of the child. This personality reflects
both at home, school and the society as a whole. I believe that if you to try respect
and appreciate individual ways of lives, It would be a lot easier to work with
them.
-To work through education, research and advocacy
toward a society in which all young
children have access to high –quality early care and education programs
To me, quality
education and child care is important in the early years. These years form the
foundation for the later years of an individual, so there is need for quality in
laying those foundation. There is need to ensure professionalism through proper
education, effective programs and childcare based on evidence-based research
and consistent advocacy that aim at ensuring that programs, curriculum and facilities
meet the required standard.
