2 Artifacts and the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice Q1. How does your overall learning and the Artifacts selected demonstrate a connection to the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice? (In each of the areas- Relationship with Children, Health Wellness and Safety) Artifacts are our own ideas demonstrated by an item that represents those ideals. Our daily encounters and experiences inspire these artifacts by undertaking different activities. Consequently, regardless of the role and setting in which they can be practiced, the code of ethics and standards of practice showcases the skills, professional knowledge, expectations, and values applicable in childhood education. There are four ethical codes, and six standards of practice are employed in the college to ensure sensitivity to the multicultural character of the province and promote diversity in the school. These ethical codes and standards of practice operate closely to nurture professionalism by setting values of ethics. The expectations concerning knowledge, actions, and skills are demonstrated in six key areas. The college is held liable for its practice and to the public through the basis set by the code of ethics and standards of practice together with professional misconduct regulation. Upholding the code of ethics is a mandatory exercise for registered early childhood educators. The codes aim at maintaining integrity, respect, values of care, and trust, which are important for professional progress. These codes of ethics include a responsibility to children, responsibilities to colleagues and to the profession, responsibilities to the families, and responsibilities to the public and the community.

3 On the other hand, standards of practice involve the measures that the educators should follow to be professional in their line of duty. These practices include caring and responsive relationships, curriculum and pedagogy, safety, health and well-being in the learning environment, professionalism and leadership, professional boundaries, conflict of interest, dual relationships, confidentiality, duty report, and release of information. Incorporating these practices and the code of ethics ensures healthy child development and is crucial for the children learning and their well-being. The following artifacts can be used with this code of ethics and standard practice to promote professionalism among childhood learners. These artifacts include newsletters, assessments, and field trips. Newsletters can promote professionalism among early childhood educators by encouraging the students to formulate their newsletters to relay messages to their parents or vice versa. This information may entail schedule changes, policies, school activities, news, students awards, events, performances, updates, and community happenings. The parents are able to stay on top of the school news provided that these newsletters are issued on a weekly or monthly basis or when the school may deem necessary. They help the parents in planning their activities in order to create time for their children's school events because they notify them in advance, giving them time to prepare themselves. However, nowadays, the process of relaying messages to parents has become easier through mobile phones. Social media has advanced the traditional method of newsletters because now the children don’t have to carry them home, but the teacher can inform the parent directly through messages.

4 Secondly, assessments are crucial artifacts. However, one must have a purpose for conducting such assessments, or else they will be of dismal benefits. These assessments allow the teachers to identify the areas they need to put more work into, and those students comprehend. Decisions relating to instructional needs, grades, advancement, placement, funding, and curriculum are all determined through assessment. Since the world is constantly changing, it is important for students to learn skills that would help them survive in this era instead of learning basic reading and arithmetic only. These skills mostly advocate for critical thinking in every challenging situation and making an impeccable conclusion.

They demonstrate a code of ethics because they allow teachers and students to gather new ideas and skills for new areas. These trips expose students to the new advances of the world that improves their understanding of the real world instead of relying on the theory they learn in school. Therefore, it is easy to apply their classroom knowledge if they experience the practical part of it. https://www.canva.com/design/DAE9xToC1dE/view
