We as educators have an obligation to our students, families, colleagues, and communities to follow core values that are deeply rooted in the history of early childhood and education. Certain ethical standards of behaviors are expected of professional educators. Each standard has a purpose and meaning. I have chosen the following three to express my inter thoughts and how they apply to my profession.
Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues
I not only respect diverse families and cultures, but I find myself wanting to know more. My sincerity shows and families love to share their foods and books relating to their families ways of life. It’s a great way to help to establish relationships.
Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect
As I related to diversity in the previous standard building relationships is a very important aspect of an educator’s position. If that relationship of trust and respect is not established no one wins. When we are all in agreement and have trust established, and then the student will have a high success rate.
DEC Code of Ethics
We shall strive for the highest level of personal and professional competence by seeking and using new evidence based information to improve our practices while also responding openly to the suggestions of others.
We should always strive to be our best personally and professionally engaging in new evidenced based information, so we can increase our knowledge and pass this vital information on to our students helping them to be successful.

It is obvious that each of the statements you chose from the Code of Ethics from each organization is important to you and resonates with the emphasis of our course discussions.
Kristi,
Building a relationship with families based on mutual trust supports a strong foundation for learning for their child. When families willingly share their lives with us, this is a sure sign that we have established mutual trust. Without this knowledge of each family we are not provided opportunities to support the identified family and individual child goals. All families deserve this respect from all their child's teachers. Thank you for sharing your insight.
Respectfully,
Patty
Engaging in new evidenced based information is very helpful to everyone no matter what their career field. For early childhood educators it is essential that we pass down our knowledge so that the children we educate will receive adequate information on a variety of topics.
