NAEYC.
(2005, April). Code of ethical conduct and statement of commitment.
“P-1.7—We shall
strive to build individual relationships with each child; make individualized
adaptations in teaching strategies, learning environments, and curricula; and
consult with the family so that each child benefits from the program. If after
such efforts have been exhausted, the current placement does not meet a child’s
needs, or the child is seriously jeopardizing the ability of other children to
benefit from the program, we shall collaborate with the child’s family and
appropriate specialists to determine the additional services needed and/ or the
placement option(s) most likely to ensure the child’s success” (NAEYC. (2005,
April).
- This quote is significant to my professional
life because it illustrates my beliefs on why children should receive an
individualized education based on their needs. Not all children learn the same,
and we as educators should exercise the every need of our students.
“P-2.5—We shall make every effort to communicate
effectively with all families in a language that they understand. We shall use
community resources for translation and interpretation when we do not have
sufficient resources in our own programs” (NAEYC. (2005, April).
- This quote remind me how important it is to
communicate with families of my students. More importantly, to get hold of a
translator when needed. I need to make use of the resources I have in order to
create a teacher-parent relationship.
“We shall use individually appropriate assessment
strategies including multiple sources of information such as observations,
interviews with significant caregivers, formal and informal assessments to
determine children’s learning styles, strengths, and challenges” (The Division
for Early Childhood. (2000, August).
- This quote is meaningful to me because this is something
I truly believe in. In order to figure out what learning styles, strengths, and
challenges my students have I must use various forms of assessment. Thus being
said, with this knowledge I can better teach my students and adjust myself to
their needs.
