CEC Code of Ethics
The council for exceptional children, CEC, guarantees the right of a high-quality early education for children with special needs. Educators may need to make adjustments to their own beliefs to meet the needs of students and their families.

Part D includes professionals working together to provide the best services possible for the student with special needs.

As teachers we have the responsibility to discourage and punish anything that harms the child. Principal H states that we as well must refrain from any behavior that harms the child. Principal I …show more content…
I chose this, because inclusion is so important for the student. Inclusion allows for the student to make friends and learn social cues. Inclusion brings children enjoyment, and improves a child’s quality of life. This is important for teachers to remember this when working with children with special needs. These children do not need to spend all of their time in isolation, or in a group of only children with special needs. Children of all abilities can learn a lot from each other. John from my PDS placement spends all of his time with his regular education peers, and I think he learns a lot about behavior and appropriate social interaction from

    Ethical challenges can occur during collaboration between a parent and a special education teacher regarding services provided to a student with a disability. One challenging scenario would be when a parent does not want a child to receive any special education services though the child has qualified.

To insure the child is receiving the proper services it is important for teachers to attempt to establish a paradigm shift (Amatea, 2013). To help a paradigm shift, special education teachers must discuss the reason why the parent does not want their child in special education.…

    Nature versus nurture in early childhood education has been an ongoing debate for a very long time. Presently we are not sure which human development works better, as both nurture and nature seem to be a vital importance in the role of human development. Nature can be defined as genetic inheritance or the genes in which a person inherits from both parents at the time of conception and carries throughout life, in contrast nurture can be defined as the different environmental factors to which a person is subjected from birth to death such as the neighborhood you grow up in, media and peer pressure. The scholarly article Back Talk: Nature vs. Nurture in Special Education by Susan Unok Marks, brings to light three assumptions that guide the practice…

    Introduction Special education has made significant changes over the past years, partly due to the fact that people have stood up and made a change for the better toward children with disabilities. Children are no longer put into segregated hospitals and left to die and forgotten about. Children for many years were labeled as unlovable and a disgrace and hid away from society. Parents were faced with humiliation and public scorning for having a child with a disability and lived in fear. People are now more widely educated and have advanced over the past century to include children with disabilities as part of society and not simply a disgrace to be swept under the rug.…
