Note of Gratitude!!

Note of Gratitude

 

 

 I would like to thank all of my fellow colleagues in Group 2 that help to inspire my professional goal when I complete Walden University. I would like to send a special thank to Annie, Dr. Denise, Druesilla, and Sharon for the kind words of encouragement and support  to my blog and discussion posts. Your input and comments were professional and insightful. I had a wonderful time working with the entire group. I grew as a person, a teacher, and an Early Childhood Professional. I pray for success and good endeavors for the entire group. Thank you for all your time, patience, and educational input during the past 8 weeks.

 

**** To those who will be effected by Hurricane Sandy, like myself, you will be in my prayers. Please stay safe, be prepared, and take pre-caution. Have a blessed weekend and keep in touch.

NAEYC and DEC Codes of Ethical Conduct

All of the codes in The NAEYC and The DEC Code of Ethics are equally important. I have found these specific three that stick out for me personally.

 

The DEC CODE OF ETHICS – Professional and Interpersonal Behavior

1.     We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.

I find this code particularly important to the employees of the early childhood field. I have had many experiences were employees will talk amongst each other, while working around children, about the details of the development of a certain child and what they can and cannot do. Employees must understand that children’s information is strictly confidential and should not be shared with anyone besides the parents, and the director unless told otherwise.

 

The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct – Ethical Responsibilities to Families

P-2.14 – In cases where family member are in conflict with one another, we shall work openly, sharing our observations of the child, to help all parties involved make informed decisions. We shall refrain from becoming an advocate for one party.

I have seen plenty of times where a professional would cater more towards one party than another because of the gender of the family member. Each member involved in the child’s life that plays an important KEY role has the same rights to know what’s going on in the child’s life in school as long as it does not cross the confidentiality rule.

 

The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct – Ethical Responsibilities to Colleagues

                        I-3A.4 – To accord co-workers due recognition of professional achievement.

It takes a lot of concentration, dedication, and hard work to complete a training, certificate, or degree. A little acknowledgement from co-workers and employers goes a long way. If the person put out the time to gain more knowledge to help improve him or herself recognition should be due to that person especially if it helps advance a facility, their teaching, or others around them.

Good evening,

Fellow colleagues and followers, I have listed my Educational Resources within the layout of my blog towards the bottom. I hope you find my additional resources very helpful. Thank you.
