Codes of Ethics

I chose the following ideals because they correlate to my three professional goals.


Goal #1 – Be Informed and Be Current

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.



Goal #2 – Enable all students to reach their full potential

I-1.5—To create and maintain safe and healthy settings

that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and

physical development and that respect their dignity

and their contributions



I-1.10—To ensure that each child’s culture, language,

ethnicity, and family structure are recognized and

valued in the program.



Goal # 3 – Educate the parents of my students.

I-2.8—To help family members enhance their understanding

of their children and support the continuing

development of their skills as parents.
