CODE OF ETHICS



I have listed three things that stood out to me in both the NAEYC and the DEC. The three I chose from the NAEYC  are so important to me because I feel that some of our educators have lost their zeal for teaching. l I feel that some of the educators and administrator do not care for the student anymore. I feel that they disrespect children by means of humiliation and disrespect. As an educator I feel that I must not do these type of things to my students or parents.

Ethical responsibilities to children.

 P1.1all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrad-ing, dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children. This principle has precedence over all others in this code.

 P 1.2We shall care for and educate children in a positive emotional and social environments that are cognitively stimulating and that support each child’s
culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure.
P-1.3
—We shall not participate in practices that dis-criminate against children by denying benefits, giving special advantages, or excluding them from programs
or activities on the basis of their sex, race, national origin, religious beliefs, medical condition, disability,or the marital status/family structure, sexual orienta-
tion, or religious beliefs or other affiliations of theirfamilies. (Aspects of this principle do not apply inprograms that have a lawful mandate to provide
Services to a particular population of children


The three things that I chose from The Division of Early Childhood are listed below. I chose these things because I feel that as a educator we must be able to support children and their families.  We also must make sure that we keep confidential information confidential. Often times I think we forget that children have rights as well.

THE DIVISION OF EARLY CHILDHOOD

2.all provide services and supports to children and families in a fair and equitable manner while respecting families’ culture, race, language, socioeconomic status, marital status, and sexual orientation.

6. We shall respect families’ rights to choose or refuse early childhood special education or related services.

7. We shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality of
the children and families we serve by protecting all form of verbal., written, and electronic communication

quotes




“Through others we become ourselves.” By  Lev Vygotsky. I am a believer of this. We all can learn from one another. Often times it takes others in our life to show us what we are doing wrong or right in order for us to learn from it and grow somehow. I feel we call can do this in regard to children as well.
One of Clintons' famous quotes were: "There is nothing wrong in America that can't be fixed with what is right in America." I felt this was a great quote. This quote is inspirational in my opinion. 
 
“Do it well, finish it properly, and move on.” –Eunice Kennedy Shriver

This quote Is how everyone should live their live. We must do well and finish on time and then we can move on to the next task at hand. I love this quote
