Educators act ethically and maintain the integrity, credibility and reputation of the profession.
As an educator, I recognize that my influence on students extends beyond how I teach the content of the curriculum.
I have the privilege of being in a very important position in my students’ lives and ultimately act as a role model for them in all of my interactions with students, staff, parents and community members. This means that I must be aware of the messages that I am conveying not only in words, but in my actions and the choices that I make. I must be aware of the power of words.
I have committed to always show up to school on time. I will dress appropriately and professionally. I will always be polite to everyone at the school and within the community. These few habits that I have instilled in my practices will help me be the best person I can be that will foster a holistic approach to teaching the whole child.
