Ideal1-1.9
- To advocate for and ensure that all children including those with special needs have access to the support services needed to be successful.
Children are unique and we need to be committed and supportive of each child so that they all can be successful. Some children may need more support than others, and it is our job to recognize that need and help them in every way possible.
Principles P-1.1
- Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, exploitative, or intimidating to children. This principle has precedence over all others in this Code.
- Doing any kind of act in any way that is harmful to a child is something that I am very passionate about. We are trusted to care for many children each and every day. Children are all different and no one should harm any child in any way. We need to show our children love and affection and be encouragers in all ways.
Professional and Interpersonal Behavior #2
- We shall demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity, truthfulness, and honesty in all our professional activities in order to inspire the trust and confidence of the children and families and of those with whom we work.
- Developing a good relationship with our families is important so that we can strive to meet any and all needs. Relationships are also important so that parents and children will see that we do what we do for them.
Professional Development and Preparation #2
- We shall continually be aware of issues challenging the field of early childhood special education and advocate for changes in laws, regulations, and policies leading to improved outcomes and services for young children with disabilities and their families.
- It is important to stay abreast of new ideas and issues as well as how things in early childhood development are changing. Advocating for changes in laws and policies that we are passionate about is also very important. It is all about improving in the areas where services for our children are involved.
Amy it is true many children suffer in ther homes so school should be a safe place.

- Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, exploitative, or intimidating to children. This principle really has precedence over all others in this Code.
Amy, you quoted Principle P-1.1. What a great one! I have to think of a few students I have known that needed just a little extra love and attention. Some hugs and pats on the back. Even just a kind hand on their shoulder for no reason at all. These students came from homes where physical harm was a reality. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to be in these kids' shoes! How far a little encouragement goes!
ReplyDeleteI do agree advocates should be well informed on new ideas and be alert on any changes that involve the rights of children and their families
ReplyDeleteI am also passionate about protecting children. They are so innocent and rely completely on adults for their needs. It is so unfair for some to take advantage of children's dependency and do them harm no matter the excuse.
