Leading with Advocacy: Professionalism and Ethics for Early Childhood Educators

Advocacy for the child care sector begins with you! As early childhood leaders, we must promote and maintain a sense of professionalism in our work. This requires us to engage in deep and meaningful reflective practices in all that we do. These self-reflective practices include your knowledge and practices in best practices, ethical conduct, family engagement and reflection on your own policies and practices. Not only do we need to self-reflect as leaders, but we also need to engage our team in reflective practices. Together, we can create a sector of passionate, nurturing and caring educators who advocate together for high-quality child care. Let’s take a look into how this can work for you and what steps you need to take to continue on your pathway as an early childhood educator, advocate and Protector of Play!
