3 Codes of Ethics that are Meaningful to ME

1) From the Division of Early Childhood: " 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."
Its is very important for parents to have an active role in their child's education but also for parents to know how and what their children are learning.


2) NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct: I-1.5 "To create and maintain safe and healthy setting that foster children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development that respect the their dignity and their contributions."
Many people take for granted clean clothes, 3 meals a day, and a stable home life.  Its important for students to feel like they can express themselves and try new things.  Also where they can develop a trust for teachers and classmates.


3) NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct: I-3.2 " To share resources with co-workers, collaborating to ensure that the best possible early childhood care and education program is provided."
-Teamwork makes the Dream Work! Using each other's strengths to collaborate helps our early childhood program to work cohesively.

“The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.”
― Elbert Hubbard


"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
-Chinese Proverb

Impulsive Behavior
This type of behavior is still difficult for people of all ages.  If I can begin to tackle this as an Early Childhood teacher, boy will my classroom run even smoother!  =0) 






This article was posted a few weeks ago in the NJ Home News Tribune, about the effectiveness and longevity of Pre-K classrooms statewide (NJ).  
What do you think about their opinions/findings?
I think most programs are working well and addressing issues appropriately.
