Code of Ethics
DEC
Responsive Family Centered Practices
6. We shall respect families' rights to choose or refuse early childhood special education or related services.
We want the best educational experience possible for our students. As educators, we have students that we recommend go through the testing process to determine whether or not they qualify for special services. However, it is important for us to respect the families' decision to choose or refuse these services.
NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct
1.1.3- To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
As a professional, it is important to not only to recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child, but to tell each child what you see in them. Let them know all the qualities, abilities and potential that you see in them.
1-3A.2- To share resources with co-workers, collaborating to ensure that the best possible early childhood care and education program is provided.
It is important to learn from each other and to share resources with your colleagues. At my school, when someone attends a workshop, we share the information at a grade-level meeting or at the staff meeting, so that we can all benefit from the latest data and current research.
You picked some really good codes this week-anything to do with special education is so important! Also, we need to never forget how different each child is and not compare them. Lastly, when we share our knowledge we help others to learn!
