Blog Assignment: Examining Codes of Ethics

Three ideals in the NAEYC Codes of Ethics that are meaningful to me are:
1. To support policies and laws that promotes the well-being of children and families. To oppose those that impairs their well-being; to cooperate with other individuals and groups in these efforts.
This ideal is important because I am a secretary at MVSU and policies, laws, and cooperation with faculty, staff, and students is important with budgets, orders, and other duties required of me.

2. To establish and maintain relationships of trust and cooperation with co-workers.
This is very important because trust with lead to cooperation, success, and progress on my job.

3. To assist the program in providing the highest quality of service.
I know that my job requires good customer services, as well as, ready for any task put before me, because I am the first person you see when entering my office and I want people to always know that I am there to assist them with whatever their needs are.


Three ideals in the DEC Codes of Ethics that are meaningful to me are :
1. We shall honor and respect the diverse backgrounds of our colleagues including such diverse characteristics as sexual orientation, race, national origin, religious beliefs, or other affiliations.
This is important to me because I provide the same customer services and help to everyone at the university regardless of any affiliations.


2. We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.
This is very important in my professional life because I know that I must talk and treat others as I wish to have them do to me.

3. 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.
I always keep up with the laws, and changes, so that I can send out memos to the
staff of the changes made.

Going cycling is a wonderful activity for families, even those with young children. Children and their parents benefit from the sunshine, fresh air and activity of cycling, and young children who see their parents cycling are more likely to learn to cycle themselves when they are old enough to balance and pedal on their own.

Safety is the number one concern when it comes to transporting children, and cycling is no exception. Bicycle safety includes helmets for every member of the family, keeping equipment well-maintained, being aware of traffic levels on a particular route and choosing the right bike seat, trailer or bike for the age and abilities of each child.

There are a range of bike seats, trailers and trailing bikes available for families with young children. The most popular include rear or front mounted child seats, child bicycle trailers and a trailer attachment that connects a child’s bike to an adult bike.
