This
week, I continue to explore my podcast from Australia, a
team from National Quality Standard Professional Learning Program. I did not
see any issue that related the early childhood professionals in their website.
So I did not what I could ask them. Then I decided to search the early
childhood Australia
website. One of the issues regarding quality and early childhood professional
is being discussed was the challenging practices to Early Childhood Australia's
Code of Ethics. An early childhood educator who works with children daily faces
many decisions about children, their families, colleagues, and self in the
classroom. These decisions are “Challenging our everyday practice and
reflecting on how we might act in new ways.” “Embracing the Code as an integral
part of what we do and how we do it should challenge us to ask questions about
our work. This is not an easy task: finding time to reflect is always a trial
in a busy workplace, yet if early childhood professionals do not systematically
analyze their practice, it may compromise the quality of their programs.”
(Early Childhood Australia,
2013).
I
looked at the issue and reflected myself; while I work in the classroom,
countless decision are being made daily. What word that will encourage children
to learn do i choice to say? How can I make the best decision when an issue
rises in the classroom? I think it is true that an early childhood professional
can not grow maturely without practice daily with the Code of ethic in the
early childhood field.
I have
dreamed one day the teacher of early childhood will love to stay in the field
because they are valued as beloved of children. My goal is to become one of
them.
