Examining Codes of Ethics


Examining Codes of Ethics
Adopted Code of Conducts:


These are the three Codes of Ethics that are most meaningful to me.  I feel that if you keep these 3 near and dear to your heart it will take you far.


We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and others with
whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture. Code of ethics  (2000, August).
My Take
-I think that it is important to respect those around you and their views.  Sometimes we tend to get so wrapped up in what we think, and we become closed minded when it comes to other suggestions that could help us become even greater.  Just because an idea doesn’t go in line with our thinking doesn’t make it a bad idea.  There’s something to learn from everyone! 



We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children and to
provide services and supports in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children. Code of ethics (2000, August)
My Take
-I think this goes under the concept of teach one teach all.  As an educational professional we have to keep in mind that everyone child no matter their race, or income background deserve a good education. 



We shall collaborate with families and colleagues in setting meaningful and relevant goals and
Priorities throughout the intervention process including the full disclosure of the nature, risk, and
potential outcomes of any interventions. Code of ethics (2000, August)
My Take
-I believe that the more you incorporate a child’s family into their educational development; the chances for that child to succeed become greater.  By getting a family involved, you may find that you have more support and someone to help enforce what you are trying to teach.

    I loved your insight in recognizing the need to support the families in our care as well as supporting our children. I agree that we need to work as a team to ensure we are providing the most consistent care possible.

  2. Sherry,

    I very much agree that there is something to learn from everyone and that we need to respect those who have different thinking than us. Any type of professional can benefit from those words!
