DEC (Code of Ethics)
We shall demonstrate our respect and appreciate for all families’ beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture relative to their nurturance and support of their children toward achieving meaningful and relevant priorities and outcomes families’ desire for themselves and their children.
This ethic code will be important to me because it is important to not only respect the children you work with but their families as well. Embracing their belief system, language, and customs will enhance children learning experiences and allow them to develop healthy.
NAEYC (Code of Ethical conduct)
I-2.9----To participate in building support networks for families by providing tem with opportunities to interact with program staff, other families, community resources, and professional services.
This ethic code is important to me because coming from a social work stand point; I know how important it is to network and get acquainted with community resources in order to assist children and their families more efficiently. Knowing what the community offers I would be able to pass on this information to children and their families.
I-1.3-----To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
I find that it is essential to understand and recognize children’s unique qualities and build off of them. As a parent, I would want my own children’s unique qualities to be encouraged; therefore I would want the same for someone else’s child. Allowing children to embrace their unique qualities enables them to become leaders instead of followers.
I love what you said about allowing children to embrace their unique qualities enables them to become leaders instead of followers! In our society today we need to encourage children to become leaders instead of followers.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and feel that supporting the entire family of the children we are working with is not only desired but should be a necessity. As we know the parent/caregiver is the child's first and most important teacher and as we build relationships with the family unit we can offer resources and support to ensure the child is getting what they need and deserve. I also think as a great educator it is our job to get to know our students individually so that we can connect best with their learning style and ensure they get the most out of programming.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about being a parent who wants their child's unique qualities to be respected and valued by the teacher. By bringing the children's interests and qualities into the work, the work becomes more meaningful and thus easier to understand and learn from.
ReplyDeleteI like the ideals that you posted. It is so important to be respectful to the children and their families. Parents should be involved in every aspect of their child's education. Teachers should respect each child as an individual and promote their strengths.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie for all you have added to this course and especially the blog for me. It has been a way to learn more about all of the students but what I really enjoyed most was learning from your perspective. I am walking away with much more than if I would've taken this class independently and not gotten the chance to collaborate with others. Thank you for your committment to this class, your dedication in doing your work well and for the information and opinions you have shared; I have learned from your passion and hope to continue learning and passing that on to others, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate what you said about the importance of respecting each families values and customs. I think if we spent more time learning about one another and who we really are, we will be far more effective at helping and teaching the families in our communities.
