Reflecting on Principle Six
Reflecting on Principle Six
Pre-course reflection | Calling yourself in
Review the ECEBC Code of Ethics (2021), and spend some time reflecting on “Principle 6: We work in ways that affirm and enhance human dignity, respect fundamental human rights, and celebrate difference and diversity” (pp. 13-14).
As a child care manager and leader, how do you “take action in the face of racism, oppression, inequity, and discrimination in all its forms?” (Early Childhood Educators of British Columbia, 2021, p. 13).
Do you notice disparities between your professional response-ability, and your personal response-ability? (Note, the author of this course attributes this alternative spelling of the word, responsibility, to scholar and speculative fabulation feminist, Donna Haraway)
- What motivates you to take action against injustice?
- What barriers prevent you from taking action within your professional role?
Capture your reflections in your journal and take time to honestly reflect and identify areas for personal growth.
