REFLECTION
The Code of Ethics for professional teachers outlines a set of principles that
guides the teachers to discharge their duties towards students, parents, colleagues,
community, and teaching practices and performance or the teaching profession. It
defines acceptable behavior and what a teacher should and should not do. Teachers
should maintain and improve the ability of all learners through inclusive participation in
the school and community. A professional code of ethics outlines that teachers are
committed to improving the educational process by producing the highest possible
outcome for students.
We believe that as an educator, you have a responsibility to offer an environment

that nourishes and promotes each and every student's development. The notion that all
humans deserve a safe environment, which requires educators to take all reasonable
efforts to protect students' and staff's safety, dignity, and well-being.The educator
recognizes the significance of the important responsibility in the teaching process. The
desire to earn and maintain the respect and confidence of one's students, employees,
parents, authority figures, and community members provides motivation to achieve and
maintain the highest credible mark of ethical behavior.
The purpose of the code of ethics for instructors is to protect the rights of
children, all kids. Teachers must recognize that by accepting a teaching post, they are
agreeing to adhere to the code of ethics. I wasn't aware of some of the contents, so I'm
pleased we went over it. Teachers are supposed to treat all of their students fairly and
not to take advantage of their position. You can't take expensive gifts from students, for
example, because it can appear that you're biased. Because kids are a "captive
audience," you cannot force your personal opinions on them. You must maintain a
professional relationship with all students and not allow it to become too informal. In their
teaching careers, teachers can use a code of ethics to assist them create a secure,
productive, and positive learning environment. Teachers are expected to maintain high
standards that will help all students reach their full potential by promoting meaningful and
inclusive engagement in the classroom, school, and community. When making
educational judgments, the Ethical Principles foster positive connections between
instructors, students, and parents. Further, by fostering a positive relationship between
students, parents, and teachers, all parties can increase teaching and learning activities
and resources, hence improving the individual's educational outcomes. Furthermore, the
Code of Ethics encourages teachers to improve teaching and learning activities in the
classroom by utilizing current data and professional knowledge. Teachers may do their
best for each student if they keep up with new trends and current information through
professional development and ongoing education.
We are seeing a variety of changes in our educational system in this globalized

and competitive world. Because change is unavoidable, educational goals and objectives
shift in response to the needs, interests, and requirements of learners, society, and the
nation as a whole. Now, the concept of a teacher and teaching is evolving on a daily
basis. In today's world, a teacher has a wide range of jobs and obligations. They should
have awareness of professional ethics in addition to good academic and professional
qualifications. Professional ethics acts as a guide for teachers, allowing them to give great
instruction and instill positive values in their students. Professional ethics acts as a guide
for teachers, allowing them to give highquality instruction and instill positive values in their
students. The professional ethics will inform teachers that they play a critical role in
bringing about desired changes in pupils' behavior. It also aids teachers in their
understanding of their vocation. It is not only their job to become dominant and
authoritarian in front of their students and coworkers. They do, however, have a larger
and more meaningful role to perform. Teachers with a strong sense of professional ethics
will show love, care, affection, and commitment to their students.
CODE OF ETHICS FOR PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS
THE NARRARTIVE REPORT
Teachers are duly licensed professionals who possess dignity and reputation
with high moral values as well as technical and professional competence in the
practice of their noble profession, and they strictly adhere to, observe, and practice
this set of ethical and moral principles, standards, and values. For this reason, the
Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers was adopted in pursuant of the provisions
of Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994.
The code covers all public and private school teachers in all educational
institutions at the preschool, primary, elementary, and secondary levels whether
academic, vocational, special, technical, or non-formal. It shall be effective upon
approval by the Professional Regulation Commission and after sixty (60) days
following its publication in the Official Gazette or any newspaper of general
circulation, whichever is earlier.
The Department of Education requires that teachers be persons of good
character. What counts as good character or conduct can be a contentious matter.
In past decades teachers might have been dismissed not only for drunkenness,
homosexuality, unwed pregnancy, or cohabitation, but also for myriad other
offenses against the moral code of their community. Some of these may still be gray
areas; however, in recent years, courts have been inclined to insist that actionable
immoral conduct be job-related, providing some protection for the private lives of
teachers.Hence this LAC session of the said topic was being organized
The topic was being discussed together with my colleagues Mrs. Luzminda L.
Mendez was all about,the kinds of misconduct dealt with by the law. T h i s
m i s c o n d u c t s are usually acts that are (or can be viewed as) unethical in any
context. Teachers, like others, are expected to not steal, kill, commit assault, abuse
children, or engage in sexual harassment. Although the definition of immoral conduct
in the law has not become coextensive with violations of criminal law, there is little
in the meaning of immoral conduct that is distinctive to teachers or teaching.
We continued our discussions with, As for the contents of the code, we
highlighted the most basic forms of conduct which the teachers must uphold in
relation to state, community, profession, parents, learners, and higher authorities.
We believed that teachers should always provide good examples of ethical
behavior, as reflected in their conduct towards their students, their colleagues,
students’ parents, and such. They should treat each student fairly while
acknowledging that each has different needs. They should teach the subject without
bias and personal prejudice. Teachers should always display personal integrity in
performing their duties, and honesty, as in giving grades that are truly reflective of
the students’ performance. Teachers should also maintain certain level of
professionalism with other teachers as well. They should treat their colleagues with
professional courtesy and should not criticize their peers in the presence of the
public or the students. The teachers are also responsible for making the classroom
reasonably safe for students. In addition to physical safety, students should also be
provided with emotional safety. Teachers must not allow bullying or other forms of
harassment in school.
Summing up all the topics we discussed we could say that we gave the
teachers enough in formations to guide them and re orient them in their journey of
being a good and role model for everyone and they be able to continue their
passions of being a teacher, these requirements for good ethical behavior among
teachers brings us to one attribute, and that is, the teacher’s devotion to his or her
profession.
Well, in my opinion, this code simply reminds teachers of the critical nature of
their work, that as they simply connect to students, parents, colleagues, or higher
officers, it is possible to commit transgressions. If Magna Carta for Teachers is a
policy that aims to provide protection and benefits for professional teachers, then
Code of Ethics aims to set standards on teacher conduct that is appropriate in his or
her profession. This adds to the liability of the teachers aside from the given task of
educating their learners. It simply says that teachers must teach in righteous and
moral ways.
Some say the teaching is the noblest profession, and by the word noblest, it means
indicating a high or elevated character. Teachers as mentioned above. That is
why, I consider teaching as such a difficult task because of teacher’s vulnerability.
Teaching is a social activity and school, a social institution, which means that the
teacher interacts with lots of different people around him/her, resulting to
vulnerability to temptations, wrong-doings, bad judgment, or partiality towards
these people. According to Alexander Pope, “to err is human…”, and for teachers,
such blunders cannot be totally avoided. However, the Code of Ethics does what it
needs to do, to remind professional teachers to practice the standards of conduct as
grounded from morality and ethics.
The image of a teacher is so fragile where he/she is quick to character
assassination. Since teachers are regarded as the most righteous individuals of the
society who serve as models for emulation, this high expectation when not met, can
easily be changed to ill fame when one is discovered to violate the code. The
teacher, therefore, must foremost protect his/her own reputation as he/she engages
in the professional practice.
As a teacher, I feel unsafe about my practice, with the fear that I might
have committed or have been committing some transgressions. And just by
learning from the code, I become vigilant of my actions and reactions towards
people around me. Is it the feeling of pressure to behave highly of moral
excellence or the feeling of great pride being the model to be emulated that
occurred to me?
Familiarizing the code of ethics and living by it is a way to prevent oneself
from committing mistakes in one’s career. The Department of Education came up
with this policy in order to protect professional teachers and free them from
misbehavior's and also factors and conditions that increase the likelihood of violating
the code.
