Meaningful NAEYC Ideals
to My profession
The Three Ideals in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics
that are meaningful to my profession are.
* “To recognize and respect the unique qualities,
abilities, and potential of each child.”
Every child is a treasure. To look, seek, and dig out
the quality values that every child has. Every child is capable of blooming in different
timing which makes every child unique and special. As a teacher I deal with
children based on their potential by nurturing and care with patience and love.
Children need time to meet and know their ability and capacity of learning.
** “To welcome all family members and encourage them
to participate in the program.”
Family is the key of love. When every family feels the
need to be in the program to participate in different activities throughout the
year that will lead and gain benefit and enjoy in the program. Every family
member is a part of the program and to make it successful it needs to meet the
family’s needs. To provide different services that the family needs for welfare.
*** “To ensure that each child’s culture, language,
ethnicity, and structure are recognized and valued in the program.”
Every child comes from a different home and place while
deserving to be treated respectfully and with consideration. To show the values
of every culture will make a big difference in the child’s life. The culture,
language, ethnicity, and family’s structure are important to build a strong foundation
of learning and knowledge that can make and prepare young future leaders. It
will plant the seeds of making leadership personalities. Also, it makes every
child and family feel more than welcome in the program.
Ideas worth to be remembered are..
* We are all for the children. Children are our bright
future. Children only need love, nurture, and care.
* Believe that every child is a gifted star and just
shine and bright and different timing.
* One hand can’t clap by itself; therefore children need
to hold caring hands to clap together to make successful noise (in this case,
progress in their life).
* All together
program, family, and children will succeed by working together to achieve and
meet the individual’s needs.

I think it is so important to remember the families and their individual dynamics (culture, ethnicity, language, composition, etc,) as these things affect how the children learn and interact with other children and adults in the classroom. I really enjoyed the additional quote "Believe that every child is a gifted star and just shine and bright and different timing." This is very close to the first code that you mentioned. It is very important to remember each child contributes something unique to the class, not to mention they are on their own level so we shouldn't compare them to one another. Each child has the potential to be anything they desire and will eventually get to their desired ending.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, this code is important to me “To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.” Many educators whom have been teaching for long periods tend to blur the lines of a class activity and how it will benefit that individual child's needs. If their focus turns to how the activity will be implemented to how to guide a student so their individual needs are met then I feel teachers will create more purposeful lessons and classroom environment.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to take a moment to thank you for your posts. They have been very informational and a great resource for me. I hope my comments have provided you with a different perspective or more of a connection into my early education knowledge.
