Examining Codes of Ethics

I-1.5—To create and maintain safe and healthy settings

that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and

physical development and that respect their dignity
and their contributions (NAEYC, 2005).

We shall collaborate with families and colleagues in setting meaningful and relevant goals and

priorities throughout the intervention process including the full disclosure of the nature, risk, and
potential outcomes of any interventions (Code of ethics, 2010).

 

I-1.3—To recognize and respect the unique qualities,

abilities, and potential of each child (NAEYC, 2005).

 

These are meaning for me because this is what I deal with everyday on a day-to-day basis in my head start program that I work for. I develop and keep a safe environment for my students, I connect with families everyday to discus the progression of the child, and I support and honor the capabilities of every child.
