Examining Codes of Ethics

I understand that this career choice I have made involves me ensuring I am trained and knowledgeable enough to help children and their families as they transition through their early childhood educational career. I also deeply believe parental involvement will play a major role in young children’s educational journey, and is key to them being successful and that children should always be safe.

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.

P-2.4—We shall involve the family in significant decisions

affecting their child.

P-1.1—Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children.

LIlian Katz Quotes

"Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read. The pleasures of being read to are far more likely to strengthen a child's desire to learn to read than are repetitions of sounds, alphabet drills, and deciphering uninteresting word". Lilian Katz

 "Each of us must come to care about everyone else's children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people's children. After all, when one of our children needs life-saving surgery, someone else's child will perform it. If one of our children is harmed by violence, someone else's child will be responsible for the violent act. The good life for our own children can be secured only if a good life is also secured for all other people's children." Lilian Katz

Susan Bredekamp Quotes

"Children benefit most from teachers who have the skills, knowledge, and judgment to make good decisions and are given the opportunity to use them." Susan Bredekamp

"The fact that not only do you have to consider children as individuals, but you also have to consider children as members of groups with their own cultural identities." Susan Bredekamp

My Personal Childhood Web

My mother and father the one who made the choice for me to be here and the ones who supplied my needs when I was younger but really instilled in me what it means to earn what you want. I truly understang what it means to work hard for what you want. My mother also helped me accomplish a lot of my goals in life. She was their to help me with my children so I could graduate from high school and as I worked to provide a better life for them. My father taught me that nothing is the world is given to you, if you want something you have to work for and the road to sucess is not going to be easy.

My Grandmother  the glue that held all of us together and always made sure that we were protected. She made sure that we would always have time for each other. Family was the most important thing. She made sure that we went to church every sunday. As a child I looked foward to all of us pilling up in our station wagon going to Florida, South Carolina, or other cities in Georgia to visit other family members. My extended family, The Davis Family I can't even begin to tell you the ties that bind us into this strong unit.

 

 My children have supported me by trying to ensure they do what they need to do so that my job is not overwhelming. They are the reason that I push and strive for excellance. Their energy, motivation and encouragement has helped me than they will ever know. We have learned over the years that communication and constant prayer is the key to our sucess. I have tried to teach them they same values and principles my family taught me over the years.

 

 

My church Family has also been a great support. They were like adopted family members that stepped in when my parents or grand mother was not around. Another good thing most of my church members were also my teachers From elementary through high school. Special thanks to Ania and Faye!!!
