Teachers have a responsibility to ensure that they are aware of their ethical and legal responsibilities.

There are standards that teachers must apply to their teaching.

The codes of conduct and the national professional standards set out expectations regarding professional behaviour, roles and responsibilities.

Howell (2014) states that ‘for teachers to be the best they can, they need to have a unique set of skills, knowledge and experience that makes them a valuable asset’.

Implementing ethics in a classroom can be challenging, as certain issues can impact simple understandings, such as what's right and wrong, and what you should do and shouldn't do.

It is a teachers responsibility to put aside any issues and to conduct themselves in an ethical manner as stated by Howell (2014).

In Australia, state-based teacher registrations have ethical codes of conduct that stand alongside the National Professional Statement for Teachers AITSL

According to Howell (2014) ' before making decisions, teachers need to consider the ethical standards and not their own values.’

It suggests that if a teacher is going through an ethical dilemma the ethical principles need to be considered before implementing whatsoever.
