Professional Ethics by Almasi

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
The core of teaching consists of four basic values: dignity, truthfulness, fairness and responsibility & freedom.
All teaching is founded on ethics – whether it be the teacher-student relationship, pluralism or a teacher’s relationship with their work.
Dignity
means respect for humanity. Teachers must respect every person, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, appearance, age, religion, social standing, origin, opinions, abilities and achievements.
Truthfulness
is one of the core values in teachers’ basic task, which involves steering learners in navigating life and their environment. Honesty with oneself and others and mutual respect in all communication is a basic aspect of teachers’ work.
Fairness
is important both when encountering individual learners and groups but also in the work community. Fairness involves in particular promoting equality and non-discrimination and avoiding favouritism.
Teachers are entitled to their own values , but in their work, teachers’ responsibility is tied to their basic task and its standards such as legislation and the curriculum.

Teacher’s ethical principles

The aim of teachers’ ethical principles is to draw attention to the ethics involved in teaching.
