EDUC 6005 Colleagues
This special thanks goes out to all my colleagus from EDUC 6005 at Walden University! You Rock! Each and everyone of you has change my views or inspired me for the better. It is not often that I can associate myself with such great people in a profession that gets viewed as babysitting, but you all have definately proved we are more than just what people see. We are the profession that changes the way society views children and education in this world. I am proud to have worked with all of you these last 8 weeks. May you continue to find success and inspiration in serving children. Oh and one last thing if you see me on the news its because I am sleeping outside of Congress until we get Universal Preschool! Janet Kien do you still have Hillary's number? :) Take care and God Bless everyone!

Code of Ethics
The NAYEC Code of Ethics I chose were 1-2.8 to help family members enhance their understanding of their children and support the continuing development of their skills as parents. I chose this particular ethic because as a professional I beleive it is my duty to assist the parents in understanding their child's development and to be able to support them in a positive way. Often times children struggle because their parents don't understand or know how to help them. I want parents to feel empowered in my classroom, that they are part of their children's learning and development the deciding factors in most homes on their children's school success.
The second NAYEC Code of Ethics I chose was I-4.4 to work through education, research, and advocacy toward a society in which all young children have access to high quality early-care and education programs. I have been on this particulasr subject for the last 7 weeks and I will continue for the next 70 years. We live in a land of oppurtunity yet we do not put our children first. It seems every where else in the world there is some type of universal preschool, except for the United States. I will continue to fight and speak to every person that will listen that our children need a solid foundation to be lifelong learners. All children need exposure to the Universal Preschool! We should not be accessing children and diagnosising them when they are in elementary school, there services should of been met in the early years. A child who is service in early-intervention will most likely not need special education classes when he enters school. I think that statement says it all.
The third code of ethics I chose came from the Division for Early Childhood. We shall rely upon evidence based research and interventions to inform our practice with children and families in our care. This is a powerful statement to me as I feel our profession is an onging devotion to the research and practice of early childhood. It is our duty to implement the research and interventions into are practice to give our children and families the ultimate preschool experience.
