Colleagues,
As the course nears its end, I would like to take the time to personally thank Dr. Longo and all the members of group 2.
Dr. Longo:
Your dedication to rearing future leaders in early childhood has made it possible for me to incorporate you in my pool of resources. While the course did not create passion and motivation for me, it most certainly reinforced it. I appreciate the work that you do and thank you for your work in inspiring future early childhood educators because I AM INSPIRED.
Lindsey Newman:
Your genuine passion for the field has made me take the time to rediscover why it it I choose this profession. Your love for children all over the world and your desire for them to succeed is something we share. Years in a profession such as ours has a way of numbing us to issues at hand so continue to whet your passion in order to keep it from going dormant. Wishing you success in future endeavors!!!!
See you around :)
Denise Love:
I appreciate that you understand in order to effectively train early childhood teachers/professionals, you need to be knowledgeable in early childhood studies. I have appreciated and learnt from your humbling nature and have grown even more reflective due to our interaction. Thank you for your contribution to our course and I hope our paths cross again soon. Keep your passion alive and continue to inspire others to advocate for our little ones.
Best Regards!!!
Sharon Munroe:
Your professionalism and dedication to the field has been apparent in every discussion, every response, and every comment made in the past eight weeks. Continue to advocate and keep your passion alive and on fire. I extract comfort in knowing that you are on our team and have no doubt your contributions will be impact-full. May you accomplish everything you set out to and hopefully we can cross path again.
Best Regards!!!
Robin Miller, Kami Lindzer, Joanne Lynch, and Druesilla Lunsford:
You have been indispensable to my success in this course. Your responses to my discussion responses, the resources you've provided, the thoughts and ideas that triggered intentional reflection have truly contributed to my growth during the past eight weeks. I wish you all success in your future endeavors and hope we work together again very soon.
Best Regards!!!
WAVES OF GRATITUDE TO YOU ALL, CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR REFORM!!!

Ethics in ECE!
NAYEC CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT AND STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT
1-1.3 To Recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.
(I believe this one is the one that is the easiest to forget. Adults forget often that children are their own person and are constantly seeking guidance. Children often get ideas and thoughts and ideas imposed on them because adults do not respect their individuality.
1-1.9 To Advocate for and ensure that all children, including those with special needs, have a ccess to the support services needed to be successful.
(That is what motivate me; I get up in the morning and look forward to work because of the experiences I acquire to increase my efficacy as a professional.
CODE OF ETHICS
2. We shall honor and respect the rights, knowledge, and skills of the multidisciplinary colleagues with whom we work recognizing their unique contributions to children, families, and the field of early childhood special education.
(Because reform is impossible alone professional must respect the thoughts of others and use them to refine personal vision)
