The Division of Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Code of Ethics and my Professional Life: Evidenced Based Practices

The Division of Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Code of Ethics and my Professional Life: Evidenced Based Practices


The Division of Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Code of Ethics and my Professional Life: Evidenced Based Practices 

The CEC’s DEC Code of Ethics, Evidence Based Practices’ second principle states that early childhood professionals should “use every resource, including referral when appropriate, to ensure high quality services are accessible and are provided to children and families.”
 
This principle is part of my professional life because there are times when there is a child in my class who needs resources that  I can’t provide because I am only a substitute teacher and I am not trained to provide these resources. For example, one student in the class has been identified as needing speech services and perhaps other special education services. It is the schools responsibility to ensure that this student is assessed for these services. It is also my responsibility according to this principle to research ways to help children who need extra help by talking with the speech therapist and by reading articles about appropriate instruction. This is especially true because there is very little time for a child with speech needs spent in speech therapy. Most of this child’s time will continue to be spent in the classroom.

  1. Hi Tiffany I just wanted to take the time out and say Thank You for all of the academic support that you have provided me with. Your comments on my discussion and blog assignments have been very helpful and insightful. Through the blogs and the discussion I feel that we have got to know each other a little better. We share some of the same goals and aspiration and I hope that we are able to stay connected as Soros and on a Professional level as we continue own our Journey of completing this Master of Early Childhood Studies. If you need any help with anything feel free to contact me through the blog or my email address. It was a pleasure meeting you!!
