The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct was developed to uphold the application of core values, ideals, and principles to assist teachers’ decision-making about ethical issues. The Core Values of the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct is based on the foundation of the field's commitment to young children. It is noteworthy that all seven of the Code's Core Values directly address our commitment to children: • Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life cycle • Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn • Appreciate and support the bond between the child and family • Recognize that children are best understood and supported in the context of family, culture, community, and society • Respect the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of each individual (child, family member, and colleague) • Respect diversity in children, families, and colleagues • Recognize that children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust and respect The first section of the Code specifically addresses our responsibilities to young children. Its twelve ideals emphasize the importance of basing program practices on knowledge of child development and remind early childhood educators that they are responsible for creating programs that meet the developmental needs of all children in ways that respect their culture, language, ethnicity and family structure. The twelve principles in this section of the Code describe practices that are required, permitted, or prohibited as we work with young children. It is this section of the Code that I find the most challenging. In Section 1, Ethical Responsibilities to Children, Ideal 1-1.10 states that we are “to ensure that each child’s c... ... middle of paper ... ...iable above all the others. This principle is the framework of what the code of conduct is based on. The Code of Ethics can help us understand what our professional responsibilities are to the children in our care, to the families of the children, to co-workers, and to the community and society in general.

I believe that every company should encourage a relationship of trust, loyalty, honesty, and responsibility among staff members at all levels. It’s important that each staff member works together to achieve excellence in a business, so the code of conduct is put in place. The purpose of the code is to provide guidance and set common ethical standards for employees from the top of the food chain to the bottom of the food chain. Some of the areas that I find to be significant of importance in a business are sexual harassment, discrimination and simply being professional in a work environment.

NAEYC’s Code of Ethical Conduct is a set of guidelines that were designed and put into place to help early childhood educators and other professionals who work in infant/toddler programs, preschools, child care centers, family child care homes, kindergartens, and primary classrooms in dealing with issues and resolving problems that may arise involving young children and their families. This framework is composed of four sections created to specify what standards and behaviors were ethical and responsibilities that are incumbent upon educators and childcare workers when dealing with children, families, colleagues (co-workers and employers), community and society. Teachers and childcare workers are to respect each child and their Danielson’s Framework is broken down into four domains. In domain one it focuses on planning and preparation broken down into five components.
Ethics is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address questions about morality; that is, about concepts such as good and bad, right and wrong, justice, and virtue. The NASW Code of Ethics is intended to serve as a guide to the everyday professional conduct of social workers. This Code includes four sections. The first Section, "Preamble," summarizes the social work profession 's mission and core values. The second section, "Purpose of the NASW Code of Ethics," provides an overview of the Code’s main functions and a brief guide for dealing with ethical issues or dilemmas in social work practice. The third section, "Ethical Principles," presents broad ethical principles, based on social work 's core values, which inform social work practice.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children and the FEOD Code of Ethics were created as a guideline for teachers as to what their moral obligations are to their coworkers, students, families, and the community. Sue Bredekamp and Carrol Copple remind the reader, “The purpose of the position statement is to promote excellence in early childhood education by providing a framework for best practice” (Bredekamp & Copple, 2009, p.1). In order for me to excel as an educator, I would need to consider both sets of the Code of Ethics as my driving force for how I address certain ethical issues that
So from my opinion I think that the guidance approach and the core values in section 1 of the NAEYC code of ethical are similar because the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct offers guidelines for children to be responsible in their behavior and to set up a basis for teachers to resolve ethical dilemmas that will encounter in early childhood care and
It is very important for early childhood educators to know about the NAEYC code of ethics. There are four responsibilities for the code. The first is the ethical responsibility you have is to children. This means making sure children are safe, and learning needs are being taken care of. Educators need to make sure they are supporting children in the best way possible. The second ethical responsibility you have is to families. This meaning to make sure you are communicating with families about their child's progress. The third responsibility is to colleagues. They need to make sure they are all working together and. This helps everything to run smoothly. The last ethical responsibility is to the community. Educators need to make sure the programs they are offering to meet the needs of everyone in the community. They also need to make sure they are working with other to provide children with the resources they need like health care, food and shelter. They are many reasons why we have the code of ethics. The first is power and status of practitioners. Children are able to defend themselves and stand up for what they need. We need to make sure we are using our power and status to help children. Educators have a multiplicity of clients. They need to make sure they are balancing the needs of everyone and know who is the priority. They also need to make sure the practices and standards they use are fully researched. This is making sure educators know all the different roles they play in a child's life. Without the code of ethics early childhood educators would not know how their duties effected children, families, colleagues, and the community. The code of ethics is a way to make sure all early childhood educators are following the same...
Not many individuals may be aware that all professions have their own set of Code of Ethics that they need to obey. In order to have a better understanding one need to have a basic definition of what Code of Ethics is. According to Early Childhood Australia has specified that it is a set of declaration that members of a profession needs to follow in terms of standards and values. In the framework of a Child and Youth Care practitioner, the Code of Ethics supports the morals and value of a CYC practitioner as well as what is expected of them towards their co-workers and clients. Furthermore, CYC practitioners’ plays an important role in the society as these roles are to achieve high standard of quality in their field of work under the controlling by the significant of the code of ethics. In this essay an attempt will be made to discuss why ethical practise is essential regarding to Child and Youth profession. Moreover, my view on how unethical practice should be doubt with will be considered along with an example about ethical misconduct.

From the perspective I have at this stage in my journey in the early childhood education field, I would like to share what I have come to value and believe in regards to early learning and care by looking at my philosophy statement. To begin we will look at the statement and highlight three key features and find out why they are important to me, then we will see what they will look like in my practice, and lastly we will examine these ideas closely by looking at where they originated. By taking an in-depth look at my philosophy statement we will better understand the motivation behind my practice which I hope to continue to refine and refresh as I gain more knowledge and experience.

NAEYC code of ethical conduct focuses on moral and ethical implications of those who work with young children. The overall theme of this particular code is to hold those who work with young children accountable for their daily decisions and keep children safe. Likewise, Georgia’s code of ethic strives to do the same, while focusing on the professional behavior of educators. The main theme of Georgia’s code of ethic outlines and defines the unethical conduct justifying disciplinary sanctions to hold educators accountable. Equally, the codes share many similarities, two ideas I will like to specify are honesty and the ethical responsibility to children. Both codes stress the importance of having integrity and being honest in the field of education. One of Georgia’s code of ethic adopted standards that represent the conduct accepted by the education profession is honesty. Within
