NAEYC Code of Ethics
I. 1.3 - To recognize and respect the uniqueness and the potential of each child.
I love how this code was stated, the uniqueness of the child. This is a reminder that every child is special and unique in their own way, and that I need to encourage that.
I. 1.4- To appreciate the special vulnerability of children.
This reminds me to"go with the flow." It is great to make lesson plans, but I need to remember that I need to follow the children's' interests. Being flexible allows the students to have a certain amount of vulnerability in their daily activities.
DEC Code of Ethics
7. We shall be responsible for protecting the confidentiality of the children and families we serve by protecting all forms of verbal, written, and electronic communication.
I think as teachers we want our classroom to feel like our extended family, and we can have occasional slips of information of someone that hurt someone else, or any other information. This is a reminder to myself and my co-workers that each child's information is confidential and not for anyone else.
