Codes of Ethics
We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and other whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture.
As professionals in the early childhood field, we all need to respect each family and child individuality. We need to be non-judgmental of how other families do things and how they raise their children. We need to create an environment to open communication with families and discuss with the parents any concern we may have before we create assumptions. We also need to create classrooms that welcome diversity and represent the families of the children in your care.
We shall be responsible for maintaining the appropriate national, state, or other credential or licensure requirements for the services we provide while maintaining our competence in practice and research by ongoing participation in professional development and education activities.
Professional development is very important for teacher and administrators growth in the early childhood field. Teachers should always be looking to acquire the next level of education. Administrators should be responsible to motivate teachers to continue their education in the field, and should provide flexible schedules to allow staff to attend school and professional development events.
To use assessment instruments and strategies that are appropriate for the children to be assessed that are used only for the purpose for which they were designed, and that have the potential to benefit children.
Assessments tools are essential to individualized based on children needs and areas that children need enforcement. Each high quality early childhood program must use an assessment tool to be informed of the outcomes of the program. Assessment gives so much information to teachers and administrators. Results of the assessment can be used for training, to raise a concern about a child’s development, to lesson planning, to curriculum planning, and to share valuable and vital information with parents during parent/teacher conferences.
