Week 5: Research Around The World

I explored the Early Childhood Australia website (http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org/au/). Current international research topics include school readiness and children's transitions, child health and child obesity and inclusion. This website addresses a wide variety of issues related to the early childhood field. This website also gives information about language & literacy, music & movement, creative arts, children & behavior and learning environments. As I explored the website, The Code of Ethics was one of the first topics to appear at the top of the page. Australia has developed several editions of the code of ethics. I also learned that the following values and processes are considered central to the Code of Ethics:

• respect
• democracy
• honesty
• integrity
• justice
• courage
• inclusivity
• social and cultural responsiveness
• education
