I-1.1—To
be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and
to stay informed through continuing education and training.
After this week’s readings and media
resource I reflected a great deal about the importance of staying informed in
order to be an advocate within the early childhood field. It is crucial to stay
current so that the needs of the children in our care are met. If we become stagnant
in our positions it is the children and their families in our care who suffer.
I-1.5—To
create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social,
emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and
their contributions.
To me, this ideal is the very reason I am an early
childhood educator. I realize the responsibility that is entrusted to me and
strive to maintain a safe and healthy environment where my students feel safe
and happy. I make every effort to foster the social, emotional, cognitive and
physical development of each of my student’s. I respect their individuality,
interests and ensure that they feel valued and cared for.
I-1.8—To
support the right of each child to play and learn in an inclusive environment
that meets the needs of children with and without disabilities.
I ensure that all of my students are included in
classroom activities and learning opportunities. I differentiate my instruction
so that all learning styles are catered to and I ensure that my students have
the equipment, resources and support that they need in order to be successful.

One of the reasons I decided to reach towards earning my master's degree was to stay informed and continue to learn and grow in the field of early childhood education. I had thought about how it would help improve my work now and my plans for the future. I had not thought about how it may affect my abilities to reach out in the community and society to be a stronger advocate for children and their families. Have you determined ways in which you will advocate for children and their families through the knowledge base you are growing? After you have finished your master's degree, what will you do to insure you do not become stagnant?
I love the codes of ethic you chose, it's very important to respect and understand that every child has their own individuality.
