According to the National Education Association:
The educator, believing in the worth and dignity of each human being, recognizes the supreme importance of the pursuit of truth, devotion to excellence, and the nurture of the democratic principles. Essential to these goals is the protection of freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal educational opportunity for all. The educator accepts the responsibility to adhere to the highest ethical standards.
Teachers are seen as role models and as such must uphold the highest standards of ethical behavior and professional standards. Teachers must be responsible and ethical citizens both in school and the community in general, whether that community be the school community, the internet community or the local community in which the teacher resides. A teacher must commit to protect, respect, and empower all students.
