NAEYC
Ethical Responsibilities to Children
Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children. This principle has precedence over all others in this Code.
DEC
Professional and Interpersonal Behavior
We shall serve 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.
Professional Collaboration
We shall honor and respect the diverse backgrounds of our colleagues including such diverse
characteristics as sexual orientation, race, national origin, religious beliefs, or other affiliations.
Above are three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to me. Their significance initially steams from the fact that I can relate to their ideals. I have adopted NAEYC’s ideal the core belief for everything I do because it sums up the conduct every organization, community ,government, and individual should seek to do for every child. DEC’S professional and interpersonal behavior ideal quoted was illuminated as it stands for equality in their service delivery. Advocacy is an essential component of development especially with a commitment to the disadvantage and challenged members of society. An organization whose ideas include non discriminative inclusion will generate a healthy environment for those serving to realize their full potential and better serve the field.

Great ideals. The first you chose is my favorite. That is an important ideal that all professionals should abide by as well as refer to as an everyday reference.
ReplyDeleteYour various contributions to the variour topics we have treated have been highly beneficial to me. You always put a professional tone and a personal touch that stands out. It has been worthwhile being on this course with you and your being there has made it more meaningful. This has helped me to view other sides of various topics treated and thereby having a broad knowledge of the topic being treated. I honestly appreciate you for who you are and the support you have provided while this study, EDUC 6005, lasted.
ReplyDeleteChipo,
ReplyDeleteFrom the beginning of this course, I have gained much knowledge from your discussions and blog site. Your professionalism and responses to our course work has allowed me to think of our studies differently, which has helped me to grow as a professional. I wish you the best of luck in all of your firsts, as a M.S. student online, first away in a new country, first time teacher, etc. Good luck and I look forward to working with you in our next course.
