Standards in Practice

The Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice (Code and Standards) provides the foundation of practice for all Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs).

Regularly revisiting the Code and Standards can support an RECE’s ongoing understanding of the professional and ethical responsibilities as RECEsreflect on how they’re applying them in daily practice.

#StandardsinPractice shares a variety of resources to inspire reflection while reinforcing these important practice elements:

Leadership
Relationships
Learning Environments
Pedagogical Approaches
Communication and Collaboration

Review the resources under each of the six standards:

Standard I:
Caring and Responsive Relationships

Standard II:
Curriculum and Pedagogy

Standard III:
Safety, Health and Well-Being

Standard IV:
Professionalism and Leadership

Standard V:
Professional Boundaries, Dual Relationships and Conflicts of Interest

Standard VI:
Confidentiality, Release of Information and Duty to Report
