    "Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny."- Mahatma Gandhi(1869-1948),印度政治和精神领袖

    在儿童保育和课后保养环境中工作的T&CS和计划经理可能会遇到道德情况。作为一种生活的反思专业人士,他们生活的核心价值观是对与我们国家幼儿合作的人的领导者的重要特征。保护儿童,家庭和工作人员的隐私,应始终是工作人员,T&CS和计划经理的思想。用于解决复杂情况的书面程序必须是并遵循,因为道德困境可以在课堂上发生,在操场上,在社区中出现。

    To better understand ethics and codes of professional conduct, we turn to Stephanie Feeney, one of the authors of the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct. Feeney, in今天在早期护理和教育中的伦理,描述通常用于讨论个人和职业道德的术语(第73页):

    Ethicsis the study of right and wrong, duties, and obligations. It involves critical reflection on morality, and the ability to make choices between values and to examine the moral dimensions of relationships.

    Professional ethics涉及通过职业成员集体和系统地进行的专业责任的思考。他们是我们应该做的指导,而不是作为专业人士。

    A code of ethicsis a document that maps the profession's responsibility to society. It conveys a sense of the mission of a field and acknowledges the obligations its members share in meeting their responsibilities. It supports practitioners in their work so they base their decisions not on their individual values and morality, but rather on the core values of the profession.

    A professional code of ethics can be used for assistance when making professional decisions. It provides those who work with vulnerable populations (including children, youth, and persons with disabilities) with a framework for addressing problems that may arise in daily interactions. In this lesson, we address a few of the common ethical dilemmas that may arise in daily interactions among program staff, T&Cs, program managers, and families.

    Maintaining Confidentiality: Children and Families

    Lani, a teacher in the toddler room is curious about the way Nia, a teacher in the after-school program is coping with 6-year-old Millie's challenging behaviors. During lunch in the staff lounge, Lani asks Maria (the program director) what is going on with Millie that is causing her to "act up" and what is Nia doing about it. Lani is a friend of Millie's aunt, and she wants to reassure her that Millie's challenging behavior is being addressed by Nia.

    Maria responds to Lani, "I can see you are concerned about Millie. We are working with Millie's teacher and her parents to address her behavior." Maria is very careful not to discuss confidential information about any individual child or family with Lani or any program staff who are not directly teaching that child. Maria is surprised at Lani's question and writes a note to herself to once again review the importance of maintaining confidentiality at the next staff meeting. Reviewing principles of the code of professional conduct needs to occur on a regular basis during staff meetings.

    计划领导人必须确保所有工作人员尊重和保护参加该计划的儿童和家庭的隐私。这包括监护人员,厨师和文教工作人员以及教师和助理教师。当员工代表儿童和家庭一起工作,他们可能成为朋友。当他们在社区时,他们也可能遇到朋友和招募在中心的孩子的亲戚。当员工社交和参加中心以外的活动时,可能会被那些不是直接与孩子合作的工作人员的人询问有关孩子的机密信息。工作人员必须明白,他们可能只会与孩子的父母和父母签署释放信息形式的那些专业人士的专业人士分享关于儿童的机密信息,例如学区特别教育者或社会工作者。

    在上面的例子中,这将是违反玛丽亚的机密性,告诉Lani关于NIA解决毫有挑战性行为的计划。作为计划经理,玛丽亚知道她必须维护机密性规则,而不是与没有直接参与该孩子的人分享有关儿童的个人信息。玛丽亚知道她必须在任何时候都模拟这种专业行为。

    T&CS和计划经理有一个特别义务秉承儿童隐私,并只与直接参与儿童,青年或其家人的工作人员分享机密信息。计划领导人观察并了解所有儿童和青年的知识,因此对于他们只与直接教孩子的工作人员谈论个人的行为或家庭情况,尤其重要。

    计划领导者需要了解并秉承解决机密性的所有法规。您希望熟悉您的计划对机密性的要求,因为它与儿童和家庭有关。您希望查看您的计划行为准则。关于机密性的明确书面政策必须包含在员工和家庭手册中,并在计划的网站上提供。根据您的计划的要求,新的工作人员可能需要签署机密协议,表明他们已阅读并理解该计划的政策。

    关于保密的坚持法律包括新且经验丰富的工作人员的服务培训。计划董事将在全年工作人员会议期间重新审视保密性规则。在专门致力于专业实践的员工会议和服务期间审查这些政策,有助于审查这些政策。

    Confidentiality: Personnel matters

    T & Cs and program managers also have an obligation to keep personnel matters confidential. In your role, you have access to personnel files, evaluations, professional development plans, and other important personnel documents. Staff may also confide personal information to you that should not be shared with others. As a program leader, you must be conscious of what you say about staff members leaving work early, being away for illnesses, and other potentially personal topics. Training for dealing with difficult personnel matters is available through books, online modules, and conferences for youth and child care administrators.

    如果您是保密管理人员matters you may want to seek advice and support from more experienced T & Cs or managers. You may also want to check in with your supervisor as you work with staff evaluations and performance reviews. Legal ramifications are possible, so being knowledgeable about employment policies and carefully upholding confidentiality about personnel matters is critical to your effectiveness as a T & C or program manager.

    Mandated Reporters

    专业职业主义的另一个方面正在审查儿童虐待和忽视政策。计划经理负责在员工手册中以书面形式进行策略。所有新工作人员必须收到有关儿童滥用和忽视识别和报告程序的信息(参见您的具体计划和国家要求)。您将确保这些程序与所有员工一起审查,作为招聘流程的一部分。一些育儿计划可能要求工作人员每年签署表格,他们已审查虐待儿童和忽视报告的警告标志和程序。

    培训员工负责任和道德惯例

    T&CS和计划经理负责规划专业发展机会,以确保所有工作人员都知道与家庭和儿童合作的负责任和道德做法。工作人员会议可以包括审查案例研究或角色扮演伦理困境的角色的机会。关于任何情况,员工会员始终觉得对您不确定如何继续进行。您愿意故意聆听寻求您指导的员工将在建立信任和沟通方面创造一个氛围。工作人员将观察和学习您在困难情况下要做什么。

    创建基于关系的计划为员工提供了支持性环境,因为他们熟悉道德决策。如果方案领导者建立关系并保持积极的,培育的环境,那么当出现困难的情况时,员工会问自己,“我最积极地解决这种情况,并与所有参与者保持关系?”

    在您与家庭的工作中,您将遇到不同的育儿实践和文化信仰。员工需要培训的情况下可能会出现培训,了解如何与可能拥有不同信念和儿童饲养措施的家庭合作。

    私人道德一天一天享受:建立一个信任的气氛

    Professional ethics are not something to review and then place in a drawer; they are lived every day in discussions with children, in supporting families from diverse cultures, in welcoming new staff members to the center, and in participating in community partnerships. As a T & C or program manager, your leadership as a model of professionalism is critical for staff and families. By nature of your title, you are the person others will look to for guidance on difficult decisions. For those working with children birth to age eight, you can always refer to theNAEYC Professional Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment指导您和您的员工在决策中。对于那些与年龄较大的孩子和青年合作的人,National After School Association Code of Ethics可以作为指导。如上所述,您可能还希望审查您的计划行为准则。您的核心价值观和哲学将指导专业行为。
