The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) approved a new Michigan Code of Educational Ethics (Code) in May 2019. The Code provides principles for best practice, mindfulness, self-reflection, and decision-making - setting the groundwork for self-regulation and self-accountability. The establishment of this Code honors the public trust and upholds the dignity of education across the state.

School districts should share and discuss the Code with all school personnel and its impact on local policy in support of ensuring an effective education workforce. It is essential that all individuals working with and for students understand how professional decision-making can impact the safety and well-being of children, licensure, and the culture and mission of the school.

NASDTEC Code of Ethics Resources

An Intentional Focus on Mitigating Risks

The purpose of the webinar was to collaboratively explore how Educator Preparation Providers (EPPs) and their P12 partners, including National Board Certified Teachers, can be advocates for professional decision-making, and proactively and intentionally focus on pre-service and in-service instruction in mitigating risks. Perspectives from the panelists as to the importance of this focus and on using the Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE) as a guide across the professional continuum are discussed.
