Examining Codes of Ethics


NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct
I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
  • ·    I feel it is important to have strong relationships with families. To me this helps to support a child’s growth by making education a partnership


I-3C.1—To promote safe and healthy working conditions and policies that foster mutual respect, cooperation, collaboration, competence, well-being, confidentiality, and self-esteem in staff members.
  • ·  I feel it is important to have staff feel safe and supported in their working environment


1-4.1—To provide the community with high-quality early childhood care and education programs and services.
  • ·  I feel it is important to provide the community not just access to early childhood care but to quality early childhood care to make sure the children of the community are supported in their early development.


DEC Code of Ethics
4. We shall serve as advocates for children with disabilities and their families and for the professionals who serve them by supporting both policy and programmatic decisions that enhance the quality of their lives.
  • ·  This is really important to me because I have seen school systems not provide the care a child with disabilities needs and I feel it is important as professionals to advocate for these children and families because the parents are not always going to know if a school or policy is not doing the best for their child.
