Hi Everyone,
For my class this week, I examined two Codes of Ethics from two organizations, NAEYC and The Division for Early Childhood. Personally, I have to say that I was especially struck by the Division's code. Three principles stood out to me in particular:
* Professional Practice
*Professional Development & Preparation
*Responsive Family Practices
As a prospective educator, I want to commit myself to always being a professional in my field. I also want to commit myself to being a lifelong learner so that I am always at the forefront of industry best practices. I will also commit myself to making sure that I am offering the best quality education to my students and offering resources to their families as partners in the education of their child. It is so important for me to be the best educator that I can be. A Code of Ethics is a wonderful foundation to look to for guidance on how to be just that.
