Activity 3.1 | Putting it all together: Linking Theory to Practice

Revisiting an Ethics of Care

1. Revisit Your Work from Module One: An Ethics of Care

  • Reflect on what an Ethics of Care requires.
  • Consider the types of relationships and relations that need to be nurtured.
  • Think about how these relationships and relations are cultivated, practiced, and sustained, as well as the necessary contextual conditions for this.
  • Contemplate your responsibility to activate (put into practice) an Ethics of Care.

2. Refer Back to the ECEBC Code of Ethics

  • Use the Early Childhood Educators of British Columbia (ECEBC, 2021) Code of Ethics as a helpful resource to inform and support your reflections.
3. Reflect on Your Identity

  • Recall the 3–5 core aspects of your identity you identified earlier.
  • Why did you choose these particular aspects of your identity?
  • How do these aspects inform your sense of responsibility in practicing an Ethics of Care?
