APPENDIX A:
The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers always serves as guide for teachers
specifically to new teachers for them to exhibit proper behavior to the learning community. It is
imperative that you observe and practice this set of ethical and moral principles, standards and
values. Teachers help students learn the academic basics, but they also teach valuable life lessons
by setting a positive example. As role models, teachers must follow a professional code of ethics.
This ensures that students receive a fair, honest and uncompromising education. A professional
code of ethics outlines teachers' main responsibilities to their students and defines their role in
students' lives. Teachers must demonstrate integrity, impartiality and ethical behavior in the
classroom and in their conduct with parents and coworkers.

CONCLUSION:
Many teenagers and children look up to teachers. Teachers become our role models,
someone who we want to be like. So, it is ultimately important for teachers to be aware of what
they should and should not do for them to properly guide those who look up to them that’s why
they must follow their code of ethics. The purpose of the code of ethics for teachers is nothing
broad, the essence of it is easy to understand and made sure that every teacher would be able to
uphold it. The teachers must follow their code of ethics to avoid any violation such as, revocation
of his certification of registration and license as a professional teacher. Teachers not only interact
with their students, but also with the students' parents and other co-teachers. In that sense, every
teacher shall impose logical and necessary wisdom towards his/her students. It was decided that
the code of ethics was not only for the students, but also for the teachers themselves and those
around the students. Teachers should only be involved in activities that will benefit the
community and the society, as such, they should know how to properly act within the scope of
others. The makings of a teacher require self-discipline and well enough rounded knowledge,
that's why they go through such lengths studying to be someone great in the future. Observing
integrity, equality, honesty, capability, and commitment are what this code of ethics for teachers
highlight.
