You're right on both answers! :-)
Ms. Sue, are you very sure that "C"
is the best answer for question #1?
Because I cannot find this answer in my text--however,I am still looking for it!
Yes, I'm sure that (C) is the correct answer for # 1. This website lists the core values for NAEYC. The one that best matches your answer is the fourth value.

Your answers are correct!
1. The correct answer is C) recognition that the best way to understand a child is to study the context of the child's whole life, including the society as a whole.
To arrive at this answer, you need to refer to the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and identify the core value that aligns with understanding a child within their broader context. You can find the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct online or in relevant literature.
2. The correct answer is B) setting a meeting in which all parties would agree to seek new patterns and ways of understanding each other.
To arrive at this answer, you need to consider the most appropriate way for the program director to address the parent's complaint in a constructive and collaborative manner. Setting a meeting where all parties can openly communicate and work towards finding common ground is a proactive approach to addressing the issue.
Great job on answering the questions correctly!
