 Values and Ethics are the
center of any organizations.
 Values
• A person's principles or standards
of behavior; one's judgment of
what is important in life.
• Values are the embodiment of what
an organization stands for, and
should be the basis for the
behavior of its behavior.
Sources of Values
• Family
• Friends
• Religion
• School
• Books
• Media and internet
• Culture
• Employers
• Time-period in which you were raised
 Students Matter Most
• Teachers must model strong character traits,
such as perseverance, honesty, respect,
lawfulness, patience, fairness, responsibility
and unity. As a teacher, you must treat every
student with kindness, equality and respect,
without showing favoritism, prejudice or
partiality. You must maintain confidentiality
unless a situation warrants involvement from
parents, school administration or law
enforcement.
 Commitment to the Job
• Teachers must wholly commit to the teaching
profession. Your classroom should promote
safety, security and acceptance, always
avoiding any form of bullying, hostility,
dishonesty, neglect or offensive conduct.
• It's your responsibility to design lesson plans
to meet state standards and create a well-
rounded education plan that appeals to a wide
range of learners.
 Keep Learning
• A professional code of conduct demands attentiveness
to continuing education requirements and career
development. You must research new teaching
methods, attend classes to maintain your
certifications, consult colleagues for professional
advice, participate in curriculum improvements and
stay up to date on technical advancements for the
classroom.
• It's your duty to ensure that your teaching methods are
fresh, relevant and comprehensive. Teachers must
engage in educational research to continuously
improve their teaching strategies.
Healthy Relationships Top the List

In addition to fostering healthy

relationships with students,
teachers must build strong
relationships with parents,
school staff, colleagues in the
community, guidance
counselors and administrators.
• Always avoid gossip, including false or
mean-spirited comments about coworkers.
• Part of the code of ethics requires you to
cooperate with fellow teachers, parents and
administrators to create an atmosphere that's
conducive to learning.
• You might be called upon to train student
teachers as they prepare to serve as
educators, so a positive attitude and a team-
centered mindset can make all the
difference.
 Listen to your people
• People love to talk, so why would any organization
let their workers talk negatively about their
workplace to their family or friends rather than
having an open discussion with their boss?
Workplaces that don’t encourage open
communication are counterproductive for the
following reasons.
• Organizations need to create a safe environment in
which employees can facilitate open and frank
discussions. The people in an organization should be
seen as an asset and when they speak, their voice
needs to be heard and, where required, their
feedback needs to be translated into action.
Set a clear vision and stick to it!
• Leaders that set a vision from the outset
without the intention of carrying it
through are setting the organization up
for failure. For employees to effectively
perform and maintain a sense of
purpose, they need to understand the
required behaviors to achieve the
organization’s vision.
How to handle
ethical issues in
the workplace?
• Know the law
• Set Workplace expectations
• Train your employees
• Put someone in charge
• Be fair when applying policies
