Three ideas in the NAEYC code of conduct that is meaningful to
me are:
·
Creating
and maintaining safe and healthy settings that foster children’s social,
emotional, cognitive, physical development and that respect their dignity and
their contributions.
o
This is meaningful to me because it stressed the
importance of caring for the whole child and respecting them as individuals.
·
Ensure
that each child’s culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure are
recognized and valued in the program.
o
This is meaningful to me because it is critical that
each child’s background is respected.
When children feel they are welcomed or an equal part of the program,
they have a greater opportunity for learning more.
·
Develop
relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with families we serve.
o
Partnerships with families is the cornerstone to
helping children become successful through sharing information. Relationships with families allows
professionals to learn more about the child.
Dalhia,
ReplyDeleteI agree"dDevelop relationships ...to serve".When schools regard their relationship with families as a partnership in which school and home share responsibility for children's learning, the result is an increase in the levels and types of parent involvement as well as the support that families demonstrate for the school. When this partnership is extended to include the larger community, the benefits are greater yet. Perhaps most important is that when responsibility for children's learning is shared by the school, home, and community, children have more opportunities for meaningful, engaged learning. Students are able to see the connection between the curriculum in the school and the skills that are required in the real world.
I am looking forward to work with you.
Thanks!
Dalhia, I enjoyed your post, it is simply stated but extremely meaningful. I share your vision regarding the respect for diversity, learning respect and act on it is in my opinion the most important lesson a child must learn.
