DEC Code of Ethics

The following codes of ethics are meaning to me as an early childhood professional. They help define who I am as a PK teacher and my roles and responsibilities I have for the children and families I serve. They help shape me into the ever changing professional, educator,advocate, and mentor I am today.

  • We shall support professionals new to the field by mentoring them in the practice of evidence and ethically based services.
  • We shall use individually appropriate assessment strategies including multiple sources of information such as observations, interviews with significant caregivers, formal and informal assessments to determine child ren’s  learning styles, strengths, and challenges.
  •  We shall build relationships with individual children and families while individualizing the curricula and learning environments to facilitate young children’s development and learning.

      I agree with you on these codes. I felt as though so many codes could have addressed into my field that I was having a hard time choosing. I also chose the value of have a relationship with children and there families just because I feel as though without a great relationship with both you are not helping the children to all aspect possible.

        Amber, I had a hard time choosing specific codes too. I agree with your statement about having a good relationship with both the child and family. Thanks for commenting.
