(1) The educator values the worth and dignity of every person, the
pursuit of truth, devotion to excellence, acquisition of knowledge, and the

standards are the freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal
opportunity for all.
(2) The educator's primary professional concern will always be for
the student and for the development of the student's potential. The educator
will therefore strive for professional growth and will seek to exercise the
best professional judgment and integrity.

confidence of one's colleagues, of students, of parents, and of other members
of the community, the educator strives to achieve and sustain the highest
degree of ethical conduct.
