STANDARD 6. BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs identify and conduct themselves as
members of the early childhood profession. They know and use ethical guidelines and other
professional standards related to early childhood practice. They are continuous,
collaborative learners who demonstrate knowledgeable, reflective and critical perspectives on
their work, making informed decisions that integrate knowledge from a variety of sources.
They are informed advocates for sound educational practices and policies. (NAEYC, 2010)
