I would like to start by tahnking all of my colleagues for the hard work and dedicated you have shown to the field of early childhood. I would like to highlight two of you that had me on my toes so many times Tameka Glover and Janette Phinazee.
Tameka from the first time you came to my office talking about going to grad school I said okay where we going. You keep me going each week and on task. You pushed me to not only be a leader at the lab school we work for but also as and advocaty for young children. I remember like it was yesterday that you were my intern and now I see a true "Power For Good in The Field of Education. I want to say to you keep up the fight and great things will come your way.
Janette Reading your blogs and your discussions made me believe that your a true Power For Good in Education. Your work show that you understand early childhood. I'm so happy and honored to have been in class with you, I look forward to working with you during my studies here at WU and beyone.

Examining Codes of Ethics
NAEYC
I-1.1—To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing education and training.
· This ideal was selected because this is something we have been discussing through out this class. It’s meaningful to me in the fact that it’s super important for early childhood providers and/or educator to stay abreast of current events with in the field.
I-2.3—To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.
· This ideal in the NAEYC code of ethics jumps back to the article from last week, “Children of Immigrants in Early Childhood Settings in Five Countries: A Study of Parent and Staff Beliefs”. It’s important to include all children in the learning experience.

I-3A.3—To support co-workers in meeting their professional needs and in their professional development.
· This is meaningful to me because I’m a leader at my center. To be a good leader I believe you have to support you staff with all aspects of professional development. Train them all to be great leaders in the field of early childhood.
DEC
We shall advocate for equal access to high quality services and supports for all children and families to enhance their quality of lives.
· The third word in this code is the reason why it’s meaningful to me. Being a advocate for the betterment of young children.
We shall respect, value, promote, and encourage the active participation of ALL families by engaging families in meaningful ways in the assessment and intervention processes.
· This part is meaningful to me because I was a Parent Educator as an intern in undergrad.
We shall demonstrate in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and human potential of each child.
· It is important to demonstrate appropriate behavior in front of the children and families. Sometime staff get to comfortable with families and forget that they are professionals.
