Working with the ECA Code of Ethics

$54.00Member: $48.60

A code of ethics, by extension, is a set of clearly defined and distinctive values and virtues collectively regarded as important by members of a profession. It includes key statements and commitments that guide professionals on how to act in relation to their work and those they work with. This course, presented by Catharine Hydon, is essential for all early childhood professionals, whether engaging in the topic for the first time or returning to refine understanding. This course delves into the ECA Code of Ethics and examines what it means to be ethical. It also explores how early childhood educators can use the code to strengthen relationships with children, families, colleagues, communities and the profession.
