Educational Ethics
There are so many ethics in the code of ethics in both of these programs. I chose to look on the NAEYC website at their code of ethics and here are the 3 I found that most appeal to me:
1: Ethical Responsibility to Families
Ideal 2.2- To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
I feel this is an important one to me because these parents are allowing there children to come to a place with a person they've never met or never seen before and know nothing about this person (the teacher). I feel I have a partnership with each of my parents because I send a weekly newsletter to tell them what we are doing and I also send home behavior reports about their children.
2: Ethical Responsibility to Children
Ideal 1.4 - To appreciate the vulnerability of children and their dependence on adults.
This is important to me because I teach Pre-K, most of these kids have never been anywhere away from their parents. Children these ages need adults in their life. If you are a teacher who is loving and caring, they will love you and love to come to school. As long as they know they can trust you and you will help them, you just have to gain that trust from each and every child.
3: Ethical Responsibility to Colleagues
Ideal 3A.1 - To establish and maintain relationships of respect, trust, confidentiality, collaboration, and cooperation with co-workers.
I feel this is very important. I think your workplace should be filled with people you can trust with anything. My co-workers are amazing. I can leave my purse in my classroom and go somewhere and I will never worry about it. I can tell them anything. These are people you can and should be able to trust.
