meaningful and relevant priorities and outcomes families’ desire for themselves and their children.

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.

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.

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.
