Examming Codes of Ethics

Here are three ideals from the code of Ethics that I picked to talk about, yet all of  the codes are so meaningful

Responsibilities to Children

Ideals

1-1.1        To be familiar with the early base of early childhood education and to stay informed through continuing education and training…….This is why I’m in school today! This helps  me to in helping others. To feel confident in what I believe in, to enhance what I feel passionate about!

 

Responsibilities to Families

Ideals

 

1-2.8 To help family members enhance  their understanding of their children and support the continuing development of their skills as parents………. Recently, I realized an important piece of information that I have not shared with families until they started child care which is sharing that we do assessments Brigance,, Ages and Stages, and DECA all to get a better Idea of how to help their children’s development in each domain. I am turning that around with my next tour.

 Responsibilities to Colleagues

Ideals/Principles

We shall recognize the contribution of colleagues to our program and not participate in the practice that diminish their reputation or impair their effectiveness in working with children and families………………These is a code that I will put in some of my teachers evualtion to remember that their perpetuated negative energy will not be tolerated, because it does affect others staff performance in attitude with families and staff.

Cont' Words of Inspiration and Movtivation

From week 2,  I have included two people that I feel are great contributors to education. Renatta Cooper, she and I have so much in common as Infant/Toddler Master teachers. I wish I could sit with her for a day to learn all that I can. As for Raymond Hernandez, I'm ALWAYS proud to see a male figure work within the ECE field.

 

Renatta Cooper

Raymond Hernandez

Words of Inspiration and Motivation

“[P]art of being who you are has to do with feeling your feelings, which means you'll have a wide range of emotions--not just constant sunshiny happiness.”

Education    

 

 

 

 

EDUCATION

“If we want America to lead in the 21st century, nothing is more important than giving everyone the best education possible — from the day they start preschool to the day they start their career.”

—President Barack Obama

 

Personal Childhood Web

There were five people in my childhood that have left a positive impact on me.  .

James Andrews= A man with lonely  a 6th grade education managed to support nine children, a wife and provided us with a great home, great neighborhood to live in and lots of lectures. My dad always made time for me. He wanted me to get the understanding of money he said " it's not how much you many it's how you handle it"  and how to support myself "yes" at a very early age. He also wanted me to have a relationship with Christ so he always used metaphors as and example. His hugs and defending me to the older children made me look at him as my hero. Years later my hero died in my arms of veteran's hospital.  Love you Didi!

Robert Andrews= My brother seem to be the only brother in the family who was interested in what I wanted to say. "Bobby" wanted the best for me. He taught me to read  words that could come from anywhere such as Bruce Jenner on a cornflake cereal box, or  sitting at the kitchen table making up  words. Bobby simply made time for me. Unfortunately we grew apart many moons later.

Edith Wade = Edith was a  nurturing sister. Edith had a calm demeanor that made me feel safe. Each morning she would wipe my face, comb my hair and kissed me. I felt so important to her. She moved back to Atlanta Georgia.

Shirley Andrews =  "MAMA"  SHE WAS JUST A STRONG PERSON WHO LOVED ME. When I didn't feel good, all I need was Mama to sit in the room, her presence was that strong! Mama also died. I LOVE YOU MAMA.

Nicole Andrews= My niece although seven years young than me, taught me how to be nurturing. Because of her living with us I had someone that I could care for, someone who made me feel needed and open the door of confidence . Today we are still in contact with each other. 

Mister Rogers

“Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others.”
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember
