It is stated by NAEYC that, in cooperative workplace human dignity is appreciated,
expert approval is promoted, and positive relationship is showed. The main duty in this area
is to develop relations, which keep creative works and meet expert requirement. Following
are the duties of teacher towards their colleagues-
1. The teachers should not visit with other colleagues at the time of engaging with child. The
lab period should be only for children and the requirements. The personal issues or emotional
problems should not be discussed with the parents of children. These problems should not
discuss with their colleagues at the time of working with children. The debate of own matters
should take place when children left, or during break time or during lunch. The people
discover that ending problems out during day may render intervals of assistance and pleasure,
which may make otherwise complex individual conditions manageable.
2. The teachers should communicate with colleagues in respect of the requirements of
children and actions, the plan, and the programmes. In case, where teachers are required to
share the details with the colleagues, then they should go directly to them in place of calling
from long space.
