Examining Codes of Ethics
The ideals in the Codes of Ethics for the NAEYC and DEC that are meaningful to me are:
1) PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PREPARATION is critical to providing the most effective services for young children with disabilities and their families. Professional development is viewed and valued as an ongoing process guided by high standards and competencies for professional performance and practice. 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. (DEC, 2000)
This ideal is important to me because it provides the basis for professional development to ensure that children with disabilities get the services they need. This is significant to my professional life because working with young children requires you to be a life long learner.
2) —To listen to families, acknowledge and build upon their strengths and competencies, and learn from families as we support them in their task of nurturing children. (NAEYC, 2005)
This ideal is important to me, because as a parent I want professionals working with me and my child that are able to listen and learn from what I have to tell them and acknowledge my knowledge about my child. I chose this ideal because as a parent I have been in many situations where the professional was not interested in helping build on what I knew. This is significant to my professional life, because I do not ever want to make parents feel the way that I have.
3) To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child. (NAEYC, 2005)
This ideal is important to me, because children are unique individuals and should be treated as such. This ideal helps encourage the recognition of children as individuals and that they needed to be treated as such. This is significant to my professional life, because I try to treat each child equal but as the individual that they are.
