Doing what's right for children, families, colleagues, and the community.
Do you need support and guidance to help you navigate tough ethical issues in your work? The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct is every early childhood educator's foundation for moral practice, and this third edition of Ethics and the Early Childhood Educator shows you how to use the Code to guide your actions and responses to challenging situations in the workplace.
Here, you'll find real cases from early childhood programs that illustrate the process of identifying and addressing ethical issues by applying the NAEYC Code. Reflection questions encourage you to think deeply about how your own experiences relate to the examples. Ethical conduct is critical, and the Code and this book are resources you can turn to again and again as you seek to make the right decisions for young children and their families.
"Continuing their groundbreaking work to define and apply the NAEYC Code of Ethics, Feeney and Freeman emphasize the need to explore cultural contexts for decision making. This timely edition comes as the early childhood field engages in progressive levels of work to define and unify the profession."
Nancy Barbour, Professor of Early Childhood Education, James Madison University
