“NAEYC
Code of Ethics”
Ethical
Responsibilities to Children
I: 1-10: To ensure
that each child’s culture, language, ethnically, and family structure are
recognized and valued in the program.
Ethical Responsibilities to Families
I: 2-9: To participate
in building support networks for families by providing them with opportunities
to interact with program staff, other families’ community resources, and
professional services.
My Thoughts:
When you have strong professional relationships with families and provide
resources both within the program and the community you will create a “village”
of people that will work together for the good of the children. This is why
parent volunteers, meetings, workshops and conferences are important. In order
to provide professional services parents want and need we should offer them the
provide parent questionnaires or surveys to get their suggestions, and
feedback. By during this we will be able to plan and implement services that
will best meet the needs of families.
Professionals
acquire the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to work with a variety of young
children with disabilities and their families within natural and inclusive environments
promoting children’s overall growth, development and learning and enhancing
family quality of life. Finally, professionals continually should seek and
interpret evidence based information for planning and implementing individually
appropriate learning environments linked to ongoing assessment and
collaboration with parents and professional team members.
My thoughts: In
the program I work at we are required to provide services for children with
disabilities. To ensure we are providing services we need to be trained on the
rules and regulations that must be followed when serving children with
disabilities. We must ensure teaching staff are trained to implement
individualized goals for each child, and to seek professional resources in the
community to assess and provide services to children.
