Article/Reading Code of Professional Conduct for Teachers
The ideals and standards essential to education are articulated in the Code of Professional
Conduct for Teachers in Ireland, reinforcing the teaching profession's distinguished
tradition. The Code, which is applicable to all registered instructors, has three primary goals:
it provides a framework for disciplinary measures, it guides moral behaviours, and it informs
the public about teaching. The Code establishes standards in a number of areas, such as
professional relationships, integrity, behaviour, practice, professional development, and
collaboration. It is based on the principles of respect, care, integrity, and trust. While
acknowledging outside issues affecting the profession, the Code stresses the rights of
students, parents, and teachers in line with the Council's view of teachers as reflective
practitioners and education as a cornerstone of society. The Code seeks to strengthen public
confidence in educators and promote a culture of professionalism and ongoing
development within the field by upholding core ethical and open standards.
