A person who advocates ensures that children are getting the best support possible. NAEYC includes a Statement of Commitment in their “Code of Ethical Conduct”. It states that each member should “serve as an advocate for children, their families, and their teachers in community and society.” (NAEYC, 2011). For this essay assignment you will examine your beliefs and experience with advocacy and explore why advocacy is an essential responsibility of professionals working with young children and families.

Provide examples and evidence from the course resources (remember to cite the sources that you use).
1. What have you learned in this unit about parents, families and teachers as advocates? How has what you learned changed your opinions/beliefs about child advocacy and about the role of teachers in supporting and promoting equity?
2. Examine the effectiveness of Dr. Pierson’s communication techniques in the TED Talk “Every Kid Needs a Champion”. How might you use Dr. Pierson’s techniques in your advocacy efforts for children and families?
