Processing. Read carefully and answer the following questions. 
 
A. What is the importance of the Code of Ethics to teachers? 

ANSWER:
The code of ethics for teachers is designed to protect the rights of the students,
all the students. It is important that teachers understand that when they get a
teaching position, they are agreeing to follow the code of ethics. A code of
ethics is important because it clearly lays out the rules for behavior and
provides the groundwork for a preemptive warning. While a code of ethics is
often not required, many firms and organizations choose to adopt one, which
helps to identify and characterize a business to stakeholders.

It serves as guide for teachers specifically to new teachers for them to exhibit
proper behavior to the learning community at all times. It is imperative that

and values. As role models for students, teachers must follow a professional
Code of ethics. This code ensures that students receive a fair, honest, and
uncompromising education. A professional code of ethics outlines teachers'
primary responsibilities to their students and defines their role in a student's
life.

content knowledge; different models of instructional strategies and assessment
practices; learning and development of children and adults; clinical and
supervision skills; the ability to model effective instructional and assessment
practices; the ability and disposition to coach and support teachers and hold
planned or informal meetings with teachers; and the ability to support teachers
through observations, feedback, modeling, workshops, coaching, and/or
planned/informal meetings.
 
E. How will you promote the Code of Ethics to fellow teachers?

about coworkers or students. Part of the code of ethics requires teachers to
cooperate with fellow teachers, parents, and administrators to create an
atmosphere that fosters learning and growth.
 
F. Write an essay about the characteristics of an ideal teacher. 

ANSWER:

“An Ideal Teacher”

Education is the important part in our life. The kind of education receives largely
depends upon the kind of teacher one has, especially in the early years of one’s
schooling. Moreover, in today’s society, teachers come in all types and sizes. For
example, based on my experienced as a student until now, some teachers are very
good, whereas some teachers are not that good. Teachers should possess many
qualities that closely related to the teaching values, which encompass the individual,
social and professional characteristics and qualities of a teachers.

Teachers have the very important responsibility of shaping the lives of young,
impressionable children. With this responsibility comes great pride and joy. Therefore,
all teachers should strive for what can be considered to be a “good teacher.” A good
teacher can be defined as someone who always pushes students to want to do their
best while at the same time trying to make learning interesting as well as creative.

A positive or negative influence from a teacher early on in life can have a great
effect on the life of a child. Teachers, especially at the elementary level, must be very
creative with their teaching styles. Not every child learns the same way, nor are they
interested in the same things. It is difficult to keep the attention of 15-20 children under
the age of ten. Classroom setup and design is a good way to get and keep the attention
of students. Workstations are a good way to encourage different types of learning.

Reflection. Complete the following statements. 

 
A. I realize that the kind of teacher you are and the way that you portray yourself
matters a lot to your employer, the community, and the stakeholders. As role models,
teachers are expected to embody good ethics, which is a fundamental requirement of
a profession.
 
B. I believe that the professional accountability and responsibility of teachers with
the state, the community, the teaching profession, the higher authorities in the
profession, the learners, the parents, the business, and as a person. Relatively, this set
of ethical standards also serve as sufficient ground for the imposition against the
earning teacher of the disciplinary action consisting of revocation of teacher’s license
or suspension from the practice of profession
 
C. I feel that good ethics is based on moral principles and appropriate conduct that
one should observe as a professional.
 
D. Being a professional teacher requires teachers commit to the standards and
ethics of their work. Teachers manage their duties responsibly. Teachers develop their
work and expertise and assess their own actions. A well-defined code of ethics
will help you negotiate difficult times during the life of your career. It allows you to
decipher the right thing to do based on your current perspective and to take
responsibility for and stand by your decisions.
