Once comparing the principles of the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychology to the code of ethics published by the College of Early Childhood Educators, I came across a path of similarities. The first principle listed for the college of early childhood educator relates to all the principles found in the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychology.
Principle one in the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychology states that the respect for a person’s dignity is the foremost important. Early Childhood Educators most important principle is a child’s well-being and learning at the fore front. They do this by respecting uniqueness and dignity of each child. Both correlating with the respect of dignity.
The second principle in the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychology says that the responsible care can only be carried out when the psychologist is properly educated, and fully trained in the area of practice being done. All doing so with high respect and dignity of persons. The ethics published by the College of Early Childhood Educators recognize the uniqueness and diversity of families. Collaborating with them, exchanging knowledge, providing resources and sharing practices. By establishing and maintaining a reciprocal relationship

The college of Early Childhood Educators Ethics states that the interaction with colleagues and other professionals is important. Early Childhood Educators strive to enhance the status of the profession within their work place and the community. The only way to do this is by demonstrating respect, trust and integrity. As a reward for this they receive support from the experienced one, the new one and the students looking to enter the profession. Yet again both these relate, the core idea is surrounding integrity in two different
NAEYC code of ethics are guidelines for childhood educators who teach and work with children from birth to eight years old. There are four main overlying points that the code supports. Child educators need to learn and be able to apply these codes. The first of these points deals with the different responsibilities that come with working directly with children. First off child educators need to feel comfortable working around children, if they feel comfortable the child will also feel comfortable. The educator needs to make sure there is room for academic growth by providing multiple opportunities for learning in a comfortable environment.
The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct was developed to uphold the application of core values, ideals, and principles to assist teachers’ decision-making about ethical issues. The Core Values of the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct is based on the foundation of the field's commitment to young children. It is noteworthy that all seven of the Code's Core Values directly address our commitment to children:
Being aware of the National Quality Standards and ethical and legal requirements involved in working in an early learning centre eg. understanding (and acting accordingly) that it’s paramount to treat staff, children and families with respect, to value their input, to treat people with equality despite their beliefs, disabilities and backgrounds, ensuring personal information is treated confidentially (eg. discussions about the children’s needs/ challenging behaviours with the parents are not done in front of other parents and documentation is kept out of reach and view of the public) etc.
The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment is a guideline designed to help Early Childhood educators and other professionals who work in infant/toddler programs, preschools, child care centers, family child care homes, kindergarten, and primary classrooms in issues that involve young children and their families.
Some things change, some things stay the same. The National Education Association (NEA) adopted a code of ethics in 1975 (Strike & Soltis 2009, p. viii). While this code still upholds many concerns that educators face today, it is important to make sure that a code of ethics is a breathing document. It must adapt and change with the changing of time. Strike and Soltis (2009) reference the code of ethics quite regularly throughout the entire book. It is first introduced in full at the beginning of the book. Looking over the code, it is important to remember that much has changed since it was first adopted. While all of the code still applies, it is necessary to add to the code to make it acceptable for the twenty-first century.
The teachers’ purpose is to put students’ needs first before themselves. Enforced by the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA), all teachers and education students in Alberta must follow the professionalism code of conduct. By “stipulat[ing] minimum standards,” this regulates the profession as a set of guidelines on ethics to teaching. (ATA, 2015) Using ethos, pathos and logos, the code of conduct discusses how the teacher takes on – to a degree – an authoritative role while having shared values about colleagues and students as they know their restrictions in their profession. Based on an abstract of an article by Elizabeth Campbell, (2000) the ATA Code of Professional Conduct serves to increase awareness of the profession while maintaining limitations.
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

The APA assignment presents knowledge about common practice and biblical support to the research applications of the American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. The lesson teaches the fact that psychologist are required to conduct research that is based on truth and without fallibility. The comparison of APA requirements versus Bible expectations shows equal
Different organizations are driven by specific sets of code of ethics, which are used to protect many different aspect of the organizations, specifically the client, counselor, and organization. Concerning the standards of a counselor, their ethics are not only provided by the laws of the state or their practice, but also outside sources who present basic values and regulations of ethical standards in their code of ethics. This paper will look at two specific associations: the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association
Ethics also plays a huge part in making a decision that yields a more positive outcome. Ethical Codes provides a framework and guidance for maintaining obligations to different stakeholders (Follari, 81).NAEYC and NEA both created a code of ethics. The national education association (NEA) code of ethics has two main principles: commitment to the student and commitment to the profession. NAEYC also developed a code of ethics with the intent to “give practitioners a research-based framework for making sound decisions in their work, especially when faced with ethical dilemmas” (Follari , 72). NAEYC code set a framework of professional responsibilities in four sections that address professional relationships that include: children, families, colleagues, and community and society; and in which each section is divided into ideal and principles. (NAECY 2011, pg 2)
All people need and deserve respect, especially from those who we are closest and most intimately connected with (Swim, 2008). Respect is absolutely essential for a relationship to work. In order to respect someone we need to acknowledge that each person is a unique individual and learn how to mesh our needs with theirs so as to help them achieve what they want to achieve (Swim, 2008.). As an early childhood educator, it is vital that our interactions with our students and coworkers are positive and respectful. “Demonstrating respect is not just about feeling good; for young children, it is about adults acting intentionally to promote optimal development and learning” (Swim, 2008, par. 4). Magda Gerber, an early childhood educator, believed that it is important for there to be respect for parents and their needs as well as for their
A code of ethics is a document that every profession agrees to abide by, it lets the public know that a profession is serving the public in a good way, and the services is going to be acceptable moral conduct. A code of ethics permits a profession to speak with a knowledgeable voice. It provides support for behaving in a justify way when there is pressure or temptation to do what is quickest or what will make people admire us. The reason early childhood educators should follow a code of ethics because they have a daily influence on the lives of children, teachers are held to high expectations. As an early childhood educator every child should to be treated fairly and receive the same services as any other child. A lot of things can happen
We are going to explore the world of ethical issues in psychology. As in any medical or mental health fields there are rules we all must follow as professionals. In this essay today we will be exploring a case study where we have a young lady who has been stricken by a mental disability. We will be looking at the facts in which her disability was handled by a professional in the field of psychology. We also will be discussing the rights and wrongs that are presented in her case study. We will also be discussing the APA ethical codes and gain a clearer understanding of where some things went wrong and why shall we begin.
The Code of Ethics for the Education Profession shows the goal of all educators and make available values and standards on how to judge conduct. Educators expectations are to accept responsibility and support the notion that all children have the right to an education free of discrimination, prejudice thinking, and inequity.
