Codes of Ethics

We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning. (The Division for Early Childhood, 2000)

  • I chose this idea because i strongly believe having a bond with your children and their families really benefits the child more than we know. If you don't have a relationship with the parents are you suppose to communicate to them their child's developmental path. Being able to have a lesson plan in effect in order to help enhance a child's want to learn and grow is something amazing in the field of early childhood education.

Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect. (NAEYC, 2005)

  • This statement is so true because without trust and respect there is no relationship, there has to be a foundation of trust in order to build respect for a individual I feel. Just think about it when a child doesn't trust you they tend not to listen or even want to be around you for that matter , they go out of their way to make your job harder.
We shall continually be aware of issues challenging the field of early childhood special education and advocate for changes in laws, regulations, and policies leading to improved outcomes and services for young children with disabilities and their families (The Division for Early Childhood, 2000). 
  • We as educators have to constantly stay up to date with everything in the early childhood education field in order to work at our best potential. Especially when it comes to children with disabilities who don't have a voice to express different things. This is why we have so many trainings each year because this field is constantly changing and we have to be willing to adapt.

    Angelique, building relationships with individual children and their families create a special bond between you and the families but it also ensure the families that you have their childs education at heart.

    Hello. I agree with your statement about building trust and respect within relationships with the children and their families. I also feel like if the children and their families don't feel like you have their best interest at heart, they are more likely to distrust you. Do you have any specific tips on strategies that you use to help with your relationships with families?

    I totally agree with you that building relationships with families helps you the professional to know how best to help the child but it also gives the child the confidence they need to excel.

My Connections to Play

1."We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw 2.“Play is the beginning of knowledge.” -George Dorsey When I was younger play was a major part of my daily routine. I was barely in the house growing up, if anything I never wanted to back inside when the street lights came on. I learned so many rights and wrongs from climbing trees, riding my bike in the street, missing curfews, having play dates also taught me social skills as well. Parents always wanted the kids out the house, because sitting in front of a screen wasn't teaching them what they can learn from experience. Now a days it's a rare chance you see children who actually want to go outside and play, and that's all because of the time of techonokogy. Parents need to watch how much time they are letting their kids be on these tablets, cell phones, and computers.

My Supports

Within my daily environment I have a lot of people and things that support and aid me in getting my job done correctly. Some things I rely on and would have a hard time functioning without in my classroom is the app called precious status which is the form of communication between the school and the parents about their child. I never knew how much gloves came in handy either until we ran out one day and it was very hard trying to change children with the improper gloves or clean up for that matter. My director and assistant are also supportive people who help me throughout the day to make the day go smoother within the classroom and outside. My director makes sure I'm up to date with all my required trainings that way I can be the most effective teacher for my students. My assistant makes sure I'm not overwhelmed within the classroom and helps me with lesson plans, activities, and many other aspects of the classroom. I would be able to function without my assistant but it would...

Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

The podcast I chose to follow is called, "Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers". From this episode I learned some very good tips and practices I can put into effect in order to make sure I'm getting the proper rest and self-care I need. Teachers are no help to a student if they aren't in the right state of mind to teach, and that can be for many reasons such as lack of sleep, lack of eating, lack of exercise, lack of training, and many more reasons. Sometimes I get stressed out in class because I don't have all the materials needed to properly teach my students, yes they come first but if I'm not being supplied with the materials to teach them with then my state of mind is being jeopardized. Self-care goes a long way instead of just sitting around at home watching t.v. like I do I could watch an educational documentary and improve my skills as a teacher. This podcast is meant to, "speak life, encouragement, and truth into the minds and hearts of educato...
