Educators act ethically and maintain the integrity, credibility and reputation of the profession.
Throughout my experiences working as an educational assistant, substitute teacher, or student teacher during my practicums, I have always abided by the BCTF Code of Ethics, conducting myself in a professional manner which demonstrates to colleagues and students that I have a genuine interest and appreciation for the field of education and want to be a contributor for its improvement. In schools, I always make sure to acknowledge all students and staff positively, model ethical behaviour that aligns with school policies, and uphold honesty and fairness with the students, ensuring students have equity plus feedback that is sincere and promotes student development.
