什么是儿童保育和学龄期项目的专业精神?
对于普通公众来说,将早期护理和教育提供者(包括向学龄儿童提供护理的提供者)视为有能力、有信心的专业人员是非常重要的。为了支持这种想法,早期护理和教育领域通过几个专业组织制定了专业标准,描述了成为早期护理和教育专业人员所需的能力。这些能力包括专业精神。与员工、家庭和儿童的互动必须始终以专业的方式进行。培训和课程专家(T&C)、项目经理和其他项目负责人/教育技术人员必须明确告知员工对职业行为的期望,并始终对职业行为进行建模。
T&C和项目经理必须带头提供职业化的正面例子。作为榜样,他们展示了如何在与父母或同事的艰难遭遇中进行互动。他们是工作人员在遇到困难情况时寻求指导的领导者。
家庭依赖于所有的项目工作人员为他们的孩子提供一个温暖和反应迅速的环境。每个员工都必须有意识地、有意识地决定如何在与孩子、父母和同事的日常接触中进行互动。T&C和项目经理必须敏锐地意识到,他们指导、指导和监督的课堂员工有时可能面临困难的道德状况。遵循道德准则有助于在儿童保育环境中做出困难的决定。
Professional organizations (e.g., National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC); National After School Association) that work on behalf of children, families, caregivers, and teachers have created standards and competencies to guide early care and education professionals. Each professional organization created standards that address professional behaviors. Professional organizations rely on research-based principles and bring together highly respected experts to draft and verify the standards and competencies for the field.
当你回顾不同组织的标准和能力时,你会发现在专业方面有很多相似之处。这表明了一个共识,即从事专业行为对那些与幼儿、青年和家庭打交道的人至关重要。
有效职业领导者的特征
有效的专业领导者最重要的是作为role models for the staff. Just as teachers and youth workers must build relationships with each child and family, T&Cs and managers must attend carefully to building a relationship with each staff member. Child care and youth programs must have a clearly articulated shared mission and philosophy that所有staff成员理解这一点,并且在项目中工作的每个人都证明了这一点。T&C和项目经理以尊严和尊重的态度对待每一位员工,以此来支持这一使命和理念。正如老师被要求指导孩子一样,项目负责人也指导在项目中工作的成年人。T&C和项目经理对中心或项目的职业氛围有很大的影响。有效的专业领导者是团队合作者,当家人和员工分享他们的想法和对项目质量有影响的担忧时,他们会认真倾听。
对于T&C和项目经理来说,真实地说话和行动是非常重要的。例如,如果项目经理声明所有员工在讲话时都应保持冷静,那么项目负责人在与孩子和同事讲话时也应保持冷静。重要的是,领导者的言行要一致。
T&Cs and program managers view the growth and development of each staff member as an important aspect of their work. Program leaders are entrusted to intentionally guide others to exceed at their jobs. As each staff member grows professionally, the overall quality of the program is enhanced.
高效的专业领导者喜欢他们的工作并表现出来。他们鼓励积极的气氛。他们知道快乐和欢笑,庆祝成功,承认员工为孩子和家庭所做的一切好事是很重要的。领导可以计划一些在员工中建立社区的快乐活动,比如在员工会议上向个人致意,用聚餐庆祝员工生日和生活活动,或者一起参加专业会议。
在领导力发展方面有很多优秀的资源。那些对T&C或项目经理这一角色还不熟悉的人会想阅读参考资料列表中关于领导力的一些优秀文章和书籍。与其他项目负责人面对面或在线实践社区是与同事进一步了解领导力和职业行为的另一种方式。

T&Cs and program managers demonstrate professionalism by supporting staff members to do their jobs well. When staff members are encouraged to be successful, they demonstrate increased feelings of competence and confidence in their work with children and families.
All staff members have a commitment to building relationships with the children and families they serve. In your role as a T&C or program manager, you must build a relationship with each staff member. This does not entail making all staff members close friends, but it does mean you must work to earn the respect of each staff member in order to effectively lead. Just as you create a safe climate for children and families, you must consciously create a safe climate for the staff. The staff needs to know that you are open to their issues and concerns and you will be professional in your daily interactions with them.
Think about a supervisor or leader that you admire as a role model. What did she or he do to earn and maintain others’ respect? How did he or she promote a safe climate in which to share concerns and issues? Arrange to interview this individual (in person, by phone, email, Skype). You may create your own interview questions or use the ones on the handout, Professionalism: Creating a Climate of Trust, Respect, and Safety.
