Ethical Responsibilities to Children
I-1.7—To use assessment information to understand and support children’s development and learning, to support instruction, and to identify children who may need additional services.
I feel that it is very important to use assessment tools to track children’s learning. By assessing my students I was able to adjust my curriculum if needed to address areas they were not doing well in and also to provide parents with important information that lead to identify learning difficulties.
Ethical Responsibilities to Families
I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
I-2.3—To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.
I could have chosen all points in this section! It is so important to have families involved in their children’s education. It shows their support, allows them to have an active voice, come in and participate in classroom activities, among many other things! I always encouraged parents to take an active role in their child’s education and to come in and volunteer in the classroom when they were able to.
Responsibilities to employers
I-3B.1—To assist the program in providing the highest quality of service.
I am a firm believer in teamwork. Without it the quality of service/education can decline. In the school I worked in we all worked together and assisted each other with problems, concerns, and celebrating successes. The parents recognized this and were very appreciative. I feel it also made them more active in the school.
Hey Linda,
ReplyDeleteIn response to your first one: In our local area, we are working hard to get assessment measures in place for our licensed care providers and they are beginning to be mandated by the state system. The disconnect comes as many providers/teachers are failing to use that information to change the way they teach and plan for individual children. It's so important that the teachers really have an understanding of why we put these tools in place. It is a huge challenge. Sounds like you had it right in your classroom.
Ms. Linda you selected about the same ethics as I did and I believe that these are important ethics. As a teacher I believe ethics are something to be followed. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI am totally for welcoming all families and encouraging them to participate in the program. We can learn a lot about families' cultures by letting them volunteer in the classroom. This helps them in supporting their child's development and learning.
ReplyDeleteTEAMWORK,is a key compenent in success. You have to work well together with others be able to share ideas and support each other.
ReplyDeleteI really like your post in regards to teamwork. Teamwork is very important for student's to become involved with in the early childhood field. Getting the parents involvement will help the student's to work and interact in a group effort. Workin as a team will help improve the child's communication skills and continue to succeed throughout his or her educational process.
