Testo aggiuntivo
Professions, by definition, are called to a noble purpose. Fulfilling this purpose relies on adherence to a collectively agreed upon professional code of ethics. Kudos to the authors for continually expanding the early childhood education field’s understanding of this imperative.
—Stacie G. Goffin, author of Professionalizing Early Childhood as a Field of Practice: A Guide to the Next Era
Every person who works with or on behalf of young children has a responsibility to do the right thing. This book provides a moral compass, guiding educators’ decisions to ensure that children are protected, nurtured, and educated.
—Sherry M. Cleary, Executive Director, New York Early Childhood Professional Development Institute
As a teacher educator, I find this book to be an invaluable resource. Its many engaging, interactive activities bring the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct to life for students and early childhood educators.
—Angela C. Baum, President-Elect, National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators
Every child, at every age, deserves an ethical and effective professional teacher. The authors of Teaching the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct: A Resource Guide have managed to connect hands-on activities with learning about the foundations of ethics, which benefits educators, children, and families.
