Words of Inspiration and Motivation - Week 7

According to the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment


"To share resources with 

coworkers, collaborating to ensure that the best possible early childhood care and education program is provided."


This statement is significant to my professional life because in order to provide the youth in my care with the most opportunities available to them I must collaborate with my colleagues. There have been many times I was not aware that something was occurring for the youth in my care. I depend on my colleagues to share information with me. In addition, I share information with them. There is always something new and exciting that could be potential used to provide better care and education to our program. For example, when I first began working with teens I was not aware that every October there is a College Night held at the local convention center. I only became aware, because a co-worker provided that information to me. I am very thankful for the collaborating experience I receive with my colleagues

According to the Division for Early Childhood (DEC)

" We shall empower families with information and resources so that they are informed consumers of services for their children."

This statement is significant to my professional life because as a childcare provider I believe it is my responsibility to inform parents and guardians about services that available for their youth. Some families I simply not aware of all the services available for them and their youth. Every event my facility hosts we provide tables for resources to set up information tables.  For military families, we often provide a table to Fleet and Family Services. Some families may need help from other resources but have no idea where to begin. I enjoy being a bridge for families to connect to resources. 


According to the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment


"To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program."


This statement is significant to my professional life because at my facility we always have new family members arriving and family members departing. It is important that we recognize arriving and departing youth.  We recognize youth by taking them on a tour, putting their picture on our bulletin board, and pairing them with a buddy. We recognize departing youth by assisting them with their move. We contact the next military facility they are arriving at. We then create a point of contact for families at their next childcare center.

  Adjourning In 2015 I moved to Norfolk, Virginia and started my career with the United States Navy as a civilian employee that works with children in the Child and Youth Program. Since 2016 I have been apart of 5 different teams at 5 different facilities. The last team that I was associated with was in Virginia Beach. I miss working with that team for many reasons. There were many aspects of the group that made it the hardest for me to say good-bye. I liked that each of our roles were clearly defined. Everyone on the team new exactly what their responsibilities were and how to execute them. I believe this has to do with the fact that we all had over 10 years of experience working with children. In addition, we all knew the policy and procedures of the program. I do believe that high-performing groups are the hardest to leave. They are the hardest to leave because they were successful. While working at the facility in Virginia Beach, Virginia knowing that my director, parents, an...

 Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: Internationally Unicef – Consultant Unicef is an international organization that appeals to me because they help children living in the most dangerous situations around the world. According to United Nations Children’s Fund website, “Across more than 190 countries and territories, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.” (n.d.) I like that Unicef is non-political and impartial. I would like to work for an organization that helps children in need. I like that the organization provides humanitarian needs to children that are in emergency situations, such as war. Defending the rights of children, I believe would be a fulfilling career. A current job opportunity that interests me is as a Consultant that works in Angola. Angola is a country on the west coast of Southern Africa. The skills and experience that are needed to competently fulfill the role is a master’...

Assignment 2: Blog Assignment - EDUC 6165

    Thus far in this course I have learned that communication is more than words. Communication can occur with body language as well. The television episode that I chose to watch was from a very old television show called The Jeffersons. The episode of The Jeffersons that I watched was from season 3 and it was episode 16 titled, George’s Guilt. At the beginning of the episode a relationship that was determined early on was between George and Weezy. The scene began with George opening the door for Weezy and then helping her remove her coat. George was attentive and helpful to Weezy which leads me to understand that they have a close relationship.   The next relationship that I observed with no sound was between Florence and George. Florence was George’s maid for his apartment. George and Florence’s body language towards each other demonstrated annoyance with each other. During the episode when they speak to each other they often put their hands on their hips and seem...
