Blog Assignment: Examining Codes of Ethics

The three at that are meaningful to me, and I consider each one to become and will become a part of my professional life are:

Three ideals from the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics those are meaningful to me:

I-1.6—To use assessment instruments and strategies
that are appropriate for the children to be assessed,
that are used only for the purposes for which they
were designed, and that have the potential to benefit
children (Cpstephesn, October, 2011).

Assessment, identify the gathering of important information in order to make knowledgeable decisions, which is an essential part of early childhood programs.

I-1.9—To advocate for and ensure that all children,
including those with special needs, have access to the
support services needed to be successful (Cpstephesn, October, 2011).

Children with learning disabilities have many special needs that can be addressed. Therefore, many different services have to be aware of the particulars needs in which a child can be helped and treated as a person with individual needs.

1-4.1—To provide the community with high-quality
early childhood care and education programs and
services (Cpstephesn, October, 2011).

A program must be developed to combined early childhood education and developmental skills that include comprehensive approaches that directly involve families. Parents must participate in their children lives, in order to promote long-term effective learning.

Words of Inspiration and Motivation

“After reading and researching Rolnick's and Ray's backgrounds, I can say that there is more to Education than just becoming a teacher just to receive a pay check.” – (Linda Hollis)

“I think that you must love children and be willing to put in the time to help mold them so that they will be on their way of gaining a great education, You can't be in it for the money because it's not a whole lot of money in working with children you just have to love them and do all that you can to help them grow into wonderful adults.” – (Cedria Lesure)

Personal Childhood Web

There are five people that have a lot to do with the decisions I made in my life, my Mother, father, Big Mam, Grandma, and Ms. Ann. My mother was the person that taught me how to love and become a nurturing mother. She was there for me in every way of my life as I developed into a dependable woman/mother. My mother’s unconditional love made me feel as though I could do anything, and I will always love her for that.

My father taught me the business part of growing up, such how to maintain a bank account etc. He made me feel grown and independent. Both of my grandmothers, Big Mam and Grandma contribute the woman I am today. Big Mam was a preschool teacher, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps; Grandma was a strong, stern woman that did not play, and I developed the same personality.

Ms. Ann was an own of the day care center my children attended. She was a successful business woman, yet nice and professional to her families and employees. Seeing that was my dream to become a day care owner, I was very impressed. Therefore, she was one of my inspirations for seeking a child care degree.

Fuels my passion for the early childhood field.

I have a passion of becoming the Director of a Child Care Center. I have never had the pleasure of working in a center as of yet, but the most rewarding part looking for my passion coming to light. My passion comes from personals experiences with my children attending early child care.
