Examining Codes of Ethics

Code of Ethics - NAEYC

Ideal 1-1.1 – To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.
This is very important for us because we need to be responsible for our children and the families. To stay informed about what happen in the field, such as new policies, events, and so on, can help us be good leaders and advocates. It is crucial for my growing and learning.

Ideal 1-1.3 – To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
I believe in this ideal because i know that children are our future. They have different needs, abilities and personalities. As early childhood professionals, we need to respect their differences and treat them according to their potentials and it's our responsibility to provide the best learning environment for them.

Code of Ethics - DEC

We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children and to provide services and supports in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children

This is important and meaning for me because working with children requires responsibilities to support children and their families. We want to provide the best learning outcomes for our children and they should be equal to all the children and families.

  3. I totally agree with your second ideal because each child is equipped with different talents and teachers should be able to adapt to the various needs of our children; that's why education and more education is the key for all of us because you could never have too much knowledge.

  4. After reading both Code of Ethics, I started to realize the similarities among the two. Just as you chose Ideal 1.1 from NAEYC, I chose a similar code,I3 of the DEC, where they both stress the importance of being a lifelong learner in the field of early childhood education.
