post three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to you, and explain their significance to your professional life.


To post three ideals contained in the NAEYC and DEC was very difficult for me. I would have rather posted all of them because all of them meant a great deal to me. I think the number one rule here is Respect. Everyone deserves resepct especailly every child. With respect comes much appreaciation. Appreaciation fo the child, who they are, there individaulity, and there ethinciy. Ethnicity is very important because that goes along with serving as advocates for children and there families. Not just children with disabliites however all children. Integrity is one of the most highest qaulities a person can value and establish in their work ethic. Espcially while working with Children. I really think I will take to heart serving as an advocate for children with disablities and all children. Chidlren really need people to advocate for them. However I think the most important way to advocate is to educate. Knowledge is power and power helps engulf change. Change brings forth a revolution that changes things.
