Code Of Ethics For Teacher

Board for Professional Teachers Resolution No. 435 Series of 1997 Pursuant to the provision of Paragraph(e), Article II,of RA No. 7836, otherwise known as the “Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994” and Paragraph(a), Section 6, P.D. No. 223, as amended, the Board of Professional Teachers hereby adopts and promulgates the “Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.” What does code of ethics means?

Ethics is hard to define but it is made up of two things.  First ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.

Secondly, ethics refers to the study and development of one’s ethical standards… it is necessary to constantly examine one’s standard to ensure that they are reasonable and well-founded. Ethics also means, then, the continuous effort of studying our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly based.
