Examining Codes of Ethics

Examining Codes of Ethics

The three ideals in the NAEYC and DEC code of ethics that are meaningful to me would be the Enhancement of Children and Families’ Quality of Lives, Personal Development and Preparation and to provide the Community with High Quality Early Childhood Care in Education programs and Services. Though not in any particular order all are significant to my professional life. My professional goals and aspirations have been influenced tremendously by reading the articles for this week.

The Enhancement of Children’s and Families’ Quality of Lives is very meaningful to me because it recognizes the diversity of children, families, colleagues and others whom I may be in contact with. The code of ethics respects and honors all beliefs, values, customs, languages and culture. It is significant to my professional life because, I strive to make a positive influence on all that I come in contact with, in hopes to always be respectful and sensitive to all people from all walks of life.

            Professional Development and Preparation sparked my interested because I often times see Early Childhood special needs or disable children not receive all the time and structure they need to be successful within the programs. This code deals with professionals being suitable for servicing young children with disabilities. “Professional should acquire the knowledge, skills and disposition to work with a variety of young children with disabilities NANYC (2005).”

To provide the community with high-quality early childhood care and education programs and services is a code of ethic that is meaningful to me. This code main focus to provide programs that meet the diverse needs of families, and to provide the best possible program of care and education for children and to conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity. I pride myself on being a woman of honesty and integrity, and hope that my colleagues are doing the same. High-quality education means a great deal to me, every child deserves the best education available.

My Older Sister Anita Alston-Ellis has been a sister, mentor,and my biggest cheerleader. Anita has always been the one to motivate me to succeed. She has lead by example and became an excellent
 role model for me. She is the true definition of a smart successful African American woman.


















        Shirley June Jackson my biological grandmother and adopted mother, taught me how to be a strong independent woman. She was the "boss" in our family. My grandmother loved me and my siblings and treated us as her own. This helped me growing up due to my biological mother's absence in my life, my grandmother filled that void. I will always remember my Grandmother saying "whatever you want to be, be the best at it" This saying helped me in doubtful time when I have wanted to give up on my dreams.


All five of my siblings Jeana, Anita, Sherry, Barbara, and my twin brother Anthony. All of my siblings have shown me unconditional love. Being the youngest of my siblings they have always made sure I felt love and support growing up. Having such supportive siblings helped me be a better me by not feeling like I was missing out on something by not having my biological parents in my life.


James Jackson Jr my biological grandfather and my adoptive father has been the biggest and greatest man I know. My grandfather is an exceptional man, he was a gentle spirit and delayed that everyday in caring for me. He made me feel love and showed that my opinion matter, he loved me as his own. This helped me growing up because I did not have me biological father in my life and grandfather definitely filled that void.
                                                                       

About Me Blog

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou

I chose these three a picture of me now, the book Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss, and a quote from Maya Angelou. Grow up I did not have much self-esteem, later on in life I began to aspect my flaws and all. The picture is of my today comfortable in my skin. I chose this Dr. Seuss book because it inspired me to believe and myself, the sky is the limit. I have always be a woman of few word, hearing Maya Angelou quote inspired me to continue allowing my action to speak louder than my words.

Hi my name is Alysia Parker, early on in life I began to have high hopes of becoming a teacher, it was not until later in life did I become intrigued in the minds of adolescents.  Watching children grow and learn became my obsession, children are just like sponges they soak in everything the adults in their lives are willing to teach them.
