This Has Been A Fun Journey!

I have really enjoyed this course and gained a lot of information from this course, and my favorite part of this course have been creating this blog, and being able to exchange information with my fellow classmates. I will continue this blog with my other courses, so that I can share the information I learn. I hope everybody come out of this course with a great grade, and have became more knowledgeable about early childhood education as much as I have.

Examining Codes of Ethics

NAEYC and DEC Codes of Ethics

Responsive Family Centered Practices
1. We shall demonstrate our respect and appreciation for all families’ beliefs, values, customs,
languages, and culture relative to their nurtures and support of their children toward achieving
meaningful and relevant priorities and outcomes families’ desire for themselves and their children.
2. We shall provide services and supports to children and families in a fair and equitable manner
while respecting families’ culture, race, language, socioeconomic status, marital status, and
sexual orientation.
3. 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.

My Response: These three ideals are very important to me because I think families interaction with there children education is very important, It benefits the teacher because the teachers need the parents help, and this way the children gets additional help not just at school but at home also, and this way there is no reason the child should fall behind if he/she has help both ways.

Responsibilities to co-workers
Ideals
 I-3A.1-To establish and maintain relationships of
respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration, and
cooperation with co-workers.

I-3A.2-To share resources with co-workers, collaborating
to ensure that the best possible early childhood
care and education program is provided.

I-3A.3-To support co-workers in meeting their professional
needs and in their professional development.

I-3A.4-To accord co-workers due recognition of
professional achievement.

My Response:  I agree that these Ideals are very important because when co-workers work as a team  together in a good atmosphere,  much can get accomplished especially working with children.
