Imagine a profession…
… in which there is NOT a code of ethics to guideprofessional decision-making
… in which the policies, statutes, and regulations that govern practitioners’ conduct are NOT even known by the practitioners
Would you call it a profession?
![Page 4: National Press Club June 25, 2015. The Need Imagine a profession… … in which there is NOT a code of ethics to guide professional decision-making … in](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649d815503460f94a66135/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
and what if that profession’s practitioners…
… make numerous decisions in a day that directly impact a highly vulnerable population; yet, have NEVER been prepared in ethical decision-making
… are NOT aware of the professional risks and vulnerabilities that are inherent in the profession; yet, they are expected to address the academic, personal, and social needs of 100’s of individuals a day
… have in loco parentis responsibilities; yet NEVER received training in supervisory liability

Why Professional Ethical Standards?
• Clarify to current and future teachers, and to those they serve, the nature of the ethical responsibilities held in common by all educators
• Establish principles that define ethical behavior and ethical best practice
• Serve as an ethical guide designed to assist educators in constructing the best course of action
• Serve as a basis for educator learning, accountability, and remediation
(adapted from ACA Code of Ethics Purpose)
![Page 8: National Press Club June 25, 2015. The Need Imagine a profession… … in which there is NOT a code of ethics to guide professional decision-making … in](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649d815503460f94a66135/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prompt, Guide, and Inform
“Awareness of the ethics codes is crucial to competence in the area of ethics, but the formal standards are not a substitute for an active deliberative, and creative approach to fulfilling our ethical responsibilities. They prompt, guide, and inform our ethical consideration; they do not serve as a substitute for it. There is no way that the codes and principles can be effectively followed or applied in a rote, thoughtless manner… each situation is unique and is likely to change significantly over time.”

“No profession can really exist without a code of ethics to guide the conduct of its members. Doctors, lawyers, and clergymen have their ethical codes, but teachers can scarcely be said to have such a code. Until they have developed a professional spirit which is characterized by loyalty to the recognized standards, they cannot rank with the learned professions” (Ontario Minster of Education, 1915).
