Code of Ethics

The teaching profession is unique in that it has ethical responsibilities through relationships with students, parents, colleagues and the wider community.

Teaching is a moral craft and teachers have to make ethical decisions daily. The maintenance of a Code of Ethics by the profession will provide a means of clearly identifying the values held by teachers and communicating those values within the profession and the community.

A Code of Ethics (pdf 30 kb) for Northern Territory teachers was endorsed by the Board in May 2009.
