Association For the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is detailed and highly educative. I examined and considered the following as meaningful and relevant to my practice as a professional in Early Childhood field.
Ethical Responsibilities to Children
1.1.3 - To recognise and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
1.1.11 - To provide all children with experiences in a language that they know, as well as support children in maintaining the use of their home language in learning English.
Ethical Responsibilities to Families
1.2.2 - To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
P.2.2 - We shall inform families of program philosophy, policies, curriculum, assessment system, and personnel qualifications, and explain why we teach as we - which should be in accordance with our ethical responsibilities to children.
Ethical responsibilities to Community and Society.
1.4.6 - To promote knowledge and understanding of young children and their needs. To work toward greater societal acknowledgment of children's rights and greater social acceptance of responsibility for the well-being of all children.
I have chosen these because of the uniqueness of children. They are the future of our generation and establishing good education will strengthen the hope of a better life.Each child is different and has different potentials which needs individual focus. Families need to be exposed to their unique roles in collaborating with the quality programs of childhood education which will help their understanding of what they should do to support their children.
In including the community, it will become part of our ethics to show respect and understanding for their roles. There is no school program without the family and community.

Mercy,
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I also identified the codes that speak to the uniqueness of each child. As a teacher, it is very hard not to compare students but to keep in mind that each child learns and develops at their own rate. I also find this very difficult as a mom to not compare my own children with others their age... you know, just to be sure they're "on track". I have come to the conclusion that there will always be some with more and some with less, which speaks to the uniqueness of each child and family!
Hi Mercy,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a wonderful job, each child learns differently and sometimes we as professional tend to forget that. As professionals, we must develop many ways of teaching because some children are visual learners, some are kinestheic learners, and some are auditory learners. Familes should be aware of how their child learns so that they can give them the extra support that they need to learn to their fullest potential.
Mercy,
ReplyDeleteI like how all your ideals were geared toward childrens learning. Since not all children learn the same I feel that assesment should be based of what the child learned individualy not in accordance to a standard group.
