Please respond to the prompt below: I will attach Standard 9 mentioned below to this email because you are specifically responding to that standard. Based on your understanding of the PSC's Code of Ethics for Educators (CEE), what actions do you feel leaders and human resources administrators could do to clearly communicate the intent of the standards to teachers/staff for the purpose of decreasing instances of code violations. Specifically, focus your discussion on Standard #9 (Professionalism) and the potential for teachers' conduct (professional or personal; intentional or unintentional) to call into question their ability to be effective in the classroom. Before posting, you may consider reviewing CEE standards case violations available for viewing on the PSC's website.
Standard 9: Professional
Conduct - An educator shall demonstrate conduct that follows generally
recognized professional standards and preserves the dignity and integrity of
the education profession. Unethical conduct includes but is not limited to a resignation
that would equate to a breach of contract; any conduct that impairs and/or
diminishes the certificate holder’s ability to function professionally in his
or her employment position; or behavior or conduct that is detrimental to the
health, welfare, discipline, or morals of students; or failure to supervise a
student(s)
Leaders and human resource
administrators play a vital role in inflate value to an institution and they
serve and devote to the ethical triumph of an institution. They also have a
role in clearly communicating standards (Professional Conduct) of the PSC's Code of Ethics for Educators to
individuals. This can be done in several ways, including providing training,
code of conduct development, and fostering open communication. These actions
will decrease the instances of code violations by educators.
