Exploring the Code of Ethics
We shall honor and respect the rights, knowledge, and skills of the multidisciplinary colleagues with whom we work recognizing their unique contributions to children, families, and the field of early childhood special education.” (DEC, 2000)
*We must works as a team in our profession as professionals to meet the needs of our children. Respecting each other’s unique qualities, their opinions, and their work. Learn and Build from our colleagues, because each person offers a different view of situations.
#6 We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning.
*Each child is different so as a professional you should build different relationships with each child and their family. No child has the same background or learning situation. You should love, care and support each child.
“We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.” (DEC, 2000)
“To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.” (NAEYC, 2005).
*Children have earned the right to be treated as individuals and to be respected. We should treat each child equally, respecting their unique and qualities.
I truly hope that there will be a day where all children are seen as unique, not strange, or weird, or even different.
ReplyDeleteAs educators if we could truly demonstrate in our actions and behavior respect for the individual potential and value of every human being, our advocacy could be the beginning.
The change begins within us.
Hello Shana,
ReplyDeleteI can truly understand what you mean by brother and sister fights, they are five of us and boy did we fight. You sharing try experiences your brother really brought back memories of my siblings arrival childhood days. However, as you stated my siblings and I grew up and realize that the fighting was part of growing up. All those who knew us knew that we (my siblings and I) were and still are a really close knit family. Thanks for the memories!! : )
