Examining Codes of Ethics
Examining Codes of Ethic
All of the Codes of Ethic are important to me, but the following are the most meaningful …
NAEYC –Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment
To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions.
It is important for me to create and maintain a safe and healthy learning environment for my children because it ensures that my classroom is a place that my children can feel comfortable and allows them to explore and experiment within a safe and positive learning environment.
To use assessment information to understand and support children’s development and learning, to support instruction, and to identify children who may need additional services.
This is important to me because I believe it is so important to be able to assess children at an early age to see if there might be programs or services that would be beneficial to them and allow for accommodations or modifications for their individual needs.
To establish and maintain relationships of respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration, and cooperation with co-workers.
This is important to me because getting along and being a team player makes all the difference in the world and benefits the children tremendously with their individual needs.
To further the professional development of the field of early childhood care and education and to strengthen its commitment to realizing its core values as reflected in this Code.
This is important to me because my professional development should always be an ongoing process to enhance my knowledge and strengthen my teaching abilities, so I can always continue to make a positive difference in the lives of children.

Code of Ethics
We shall demonstrate our respect and appreciation for all families’ beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture relative to their nurturance and support of their children toward achieving.
This is important because building a relationship with my families and learning about their cultures, languages, beliefs and values will allow me to provide meaningful learning experiences and support a sense of identity and belonging for my children as well as their families.
We shall respect, value, promote, and encourage the active participation of ALL families by engaging families in meaningful ways in the assessment and intervention processes.
It is important to me to involve families in the assessment process and especially keep effective communication going at all times so that their child can have the best possible learning experience in school as well as at home to meet their individual needs and goals.
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 to me because I am always trying to find new ways and new strategies to enhance and improve my teaching techniques so all my children will have positive outcomes and individual needs will be met.
