Professional and Personal Qualities:
Demonstrate Professional and Ethical Behavior
One main component of being a quality of teacher is to remain
ethical in all situations. Using ethical behavior helps develop trust with
students and creates a positive learning environment. Behaving
ethically in the classroom means that the teacher always takes the
high road and behaves in a professional manner at all times. Ethical
behavior should not only be used in front of students, but also with
work colleagues like other teachers, school employees, and
administrators. Ethics are not laws, but rather what we feel we should
or shouldn't do based on ones personal belief system. The National
Education Agency provides a list of ethical behaviors. This list provides
examples of things a teacher should and should not do. There are 5
main ethical behaviors a teacher should always demonstrate: 1) Serve
as a positive role model, 2) Put students best interests ahead of other
interests, 3) Collaborate with and support colleagues, 4)
Create/maintain a productive learning environment for students, 5)
Diversify instruction to address differences between students. The
world of education also involves a wide range of material that must
remain confidential. Teachers who behave ethically respect the
confidentiality of their students, and do not share student information
unless it is required and appropriate. Modeling these behaviors every

day in the classroom will allow our students to learn how to behave
ethically, and they will take this quality with them when they leave
school and transition to adulthood.
