integrity.
the code of professional Ethics posits and highlights the importance of being honest and staying true to your values in all areas of your work. as a Pedagogical practitioner it is your responsibility to uphold values and principles that are in line with integrity.
i believe integrity is essential because it shapes how learners, parents and collogues view and trust me. in order to create a safe and respectful environment where everyone feels valued, i need to be fair, keep my promises, and admit my mistakes – giving myself the opportunity to learn. we, teachers, influence those around us more than we know, but if i can be accountable, and show my learners the importance of doing the right thing, then perhaps i can help them build character and have values they can use in the future.
