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 the teacher and I can’t provide because we are not trained
to provide these resources. For example, one student in our class has been
identified as needing speech services and perhaps other special education
services. It is our 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.
