Ethical Principles

The ECA’s code of ethics is intends for all early childhood professionals, who work with or on the behalf of children and families, to carry the appropriate behaviour. This document is relevant to my study because it notifies educators about their commitment to the children, families, colleagues, community and society as well as their

Policies and procedures are set in place to not only protect children and young people but also adults who work with them. It is vital that all professionals follow safe working practices to ensure that not only children are protected but also themselves. I have chosen to talk about in a childcare setting for this unit. An example is, if a disclosure is made by a child to a member of staff, it is vital that it is always taken seriously even if it is proven to be untrue or inaccurate. The child or young person should be listened

1.4 How did you meet the child’s needs, which you have identified when completing your observations?

P-1.3—We shall involve all of those with relevant knowledge (including staff and parents) in decisions concerning a child.

The NAEYC’s Code of Ethical Conduct gives professionals an insight into the guidelines they must follow to ethically assess young children. This Code refers to the core values of early childhood professionals and their responsibilities to children, families, colleagues, and the community. The NAEYC Code says that “Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading, dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children. This principle has precedence over all others in this code” (National Association P-1.1 pg. 3). The NAEYC Code also gives specific considerations regarding the assessment of young children. Children should be cared for, protected, and assessed in a way that effectively benefits their learning and development. P-1.2 says “We shall care for and educate children in positive emotional and social environments that are cognitively stimulating and that support each child's culture, language, ethnicity, and family structure” (National Association pg. 3). Teachers should get to know the child and their family personally to achieve understanding and trust within the assessment process. If the teacher is trusted, she has the opportunity to reach out to the families. In doing so, if the family has trust toward the teacher they have trust toward her teaching strategies and may become eager to be involved within their child's education. Teachers are obligated to provide a positive learning environment for each individual child that will support them in their decisions, growth, and individuality. This Code gives teachers ethical guidelines to provide information to and for the families, enhancing the learning and development of the

As an early childhood educator it may sometimes be difficult to teach families in the place or situation that they are currently facing. Especially if they are unwilling to start a relationship or work on developing one with their child’s teacher. Therefore, I believe that it is vital for educators to encourage and strengthen relationships with the families through trust and learning more about their cultural beliefs and child-rearing standpoint. When this foundation of trust and understanding is established, then teachers will be much more successful in both meeting the needs of their families and the NAEYC ethical ideals. The NAEYC code of ethics are a set of ideals that help to engage families and understand

1. Multiple assessments should be given to represent the categories of giftedness identified in the district’s definition (Moon, 2013, p.133).

For this training/staff development class, staff members will gather in a room and be given an outline and handouts for the presentation. Once, everyone is situated the presentation will begin. For this presentation I will be presenting to my staff about The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Code of Ethical Conduct. Staff members will be presented with information about Ethnics, as defined by NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct glossary “Ethics is the study of right and wrong, or duty and obligation that involves critical reflection

According to Belmont, three fundamental ethical principles are essentials when conducting research with children: Ethics as protection that emphasize on respect for persons; Ethics of care that emphasize on the beneficence; and Ethics of justice (Fombad, 2005; Matutina, 2009). Ethics as protection is recognizing child participants’ vulnerability and respecting their autonomy. Their vulnerability is shown on different aspects, such as rationality, maturity, language development, and intelligence. So researchers need to pay close attentions to all different aspects. Ethics of care require researchers to minimize the risks, safeguard children from any harm, and assure children’s welfare and wellbeing.

Henrietta Lacks, a woman that died of cervical cancer in 1951, single handedly changed the field of science. Not long before she passed away, a doctor took a sample of her cancer cells, the cells from her cervix were later on named HeLa cells, and these cells helped pave the way to numerous experiments and research all over the world. Even though HeLa brought along many achievements with its discovery, it also brought disappointments to some researchers, and pain for her family. You see, she nor her family consented to her cells being sampled, or the amounts of experiments and research that occurred after. Her family was never aware that such actions even took place. Even so, on February 1st, 1951, the day Henrietta Lacks walked in to John

Mayo Clinic’s work is well known for many specialties, ranked in the top ten for most of them, the biggest thing that this not – for – profit organization is concerned with is, the care and satisfaction of the patients they serve. Patients from all fifty states travel to the Mayo facilities for treatment because they hold their employee and facility standards to high ethical and moral standards. The motto of the patient comes first plays a big part in way the Mayo facilities operates on a daily basis. As we take a look at some of the

The article is about how Americans are concerned about illegal immigration, but also ambivalent what to do about it with the 11 million aliens all ready in the United States illegally. Frustrated with the federal governments failure to protect the borders, several states passed laws allowing state police to check he immigration status of potential unlawful aliens. Some civil rights organizations warn the laws will result in ethic profiling. The Obama administration is suing law makers for violating on federal prerogatives. Advocates of tougher enforcement say undocumented workers are taking up U.S., citizens jobs, but many business and farmers say migrant workers are needed to fill unwanted jobs. Now the government is making hearings of arguments

Henrietta Lacks was born on August 1, 1920, in Roanoke, Virginia and she died due to complications of cervical cancer on October 4, 1951.She had been receiving treatment at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. At the hospital she was treated with radium tube inserts, which is said to be the standard treatment for cervical cancer in 1951. As a matter of routine, samples of her cervix were removed without permission. Henrietta was 31 years old when she died. In this time it was customary for doctors and researchers to remove cells from a person for testing. Likewise cells were taken from Henrietta. The problem was that the cells were

An ethical principle revolves around confidentiality, informed consent, autonomy, nonmaleficence justice and fairness and beneficence (Kinicki & Williams, 2016). In this part, I will only discuss the concepts of justice and fairness has my ethical principle. I will be discussing its pro and cons, and before that, I will vividly address the concept of justice and fairness about the corporate world. Justice is a broad concept of ethical principle that involves equality, fairness, and impartiality. In simple terms, it is the concept of being fair to people. Justice is broadly divided into social and distributive justice. In the corporate world, distributive justice entails treating an employee right and equally independent of ethnic group, culture,
