DEC Codes Of Ethics That Are Meaningful To Me

DEC Codes Of Ethics That Are Meaningful To Me
DEC Code:  We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.
                          
As professionals we must understand that every child is unique and we must refrain from labeling children when they are different and pose a challenge.  It is our role to observe and intervene in a positive manner.

DEC Code:  We shall provide services and supports to children and families in a fair and equitable manner while respecting families’ culture, race, language, socioeconomic status, marital status, and sexual orientation.

Often as professionals working with families we will come across various cultures.  We should always have interpreters available whenever needed.  We should never be quick to judge because every culture is different when it comes to discipline and child rearing.

DEC Code:  We shall honor and respect our responsibilities to colleagues while upholding the dignity and autonomy of colleagues and maintaining collegial interprofessional and intraprofessional relationships.

Professional collaboration is important.  In order for professionals to be successful we must respect one another.

  1. Amy,

    It has been fun, interesting, and at times a challenging 8 weeks; but I have gained some additional knowledge in the EC field. I appreciate all of your comments and suggestions. I will take them with me as I further my studies in EC. Thanks for allowing me to learn about your professional and personal lives. Now I am able to see that I'm connected to more people in the World that I had originally thought. Keep up the hard work, and I hope to see you in another class.
