First (1), According to the Code of Ethics we should "enhance the value and dignity of every person". As a teacher, you could support this by having each student create a student profile. Each month the teacher posted two or more student profiles on the bulletin board for the duration of the month. On these profiles, students can list their age, hobbies, favorite things, future dream job, and more. Students in the class will be able to view each other's profiles throughout the month to learn more about their classmates. Every student is part of the class, not just the one who performs well or exemplifies positive behavior. By using student profiles, every student has the opportunity to feel valued in their classroom. The goal of the education system is that no child is left behind. Many students come from backgrounds and families where they may not be demonstrated value. An educator should be a person in every child's life who shows them how much they are valued, not only as a student, but also as a human being. According to (2), according to the Code of Ethics we should value “the search for truth.” A teacher should teach honesty to their students, regardless of age. Teachers can choose a book to read in class that teaches the topic of honesty, after reading the book the teacher can make students reflect on what it means to be honest and how they can be honest in their classroom. Teachers should also teach their students that it is important to be honest in every situation, even if they have done something wrong. Teachers could reward students with honesty cards if the student tells the truth in a situation. Students could then collect honesty cards to turn in to gain certain privileges such as permission for homework or the chance to have lunch...... middle of paper ...... which could use the grade to see what students prefer to do, whether it's an assignment, a class event, or a field trip. In this way, the teacher teaches each student the importance of each person's vote and shows that the teacher values their opinion. A secondary school teacher might use student grades to determine which books the class would prefer to read during the school year. In lower grades, teachers could create bins that represent different incentives for students to choose from. When students are awarded a star for good behavior, they can choose which group to put their star in, and at the end of the month the group with the most stars will be the incentive the class earns. By implementing a democratic system in the classroom, students will be encouraged to express their opinion and understand the value of their opinion.
