Code of Ethics

The basic code of ethics for an educator is that that educator "strives to create a learning environment that nurtures to fulfillment the potential of all students" (Code par. 1)  A teacher needs to make sure that they are always looking out for the well-being of their students and that they are doing whatever they can to help their students.  As a friend or even just a fellow classmate, I try to do whatever I can to help those around me.  I offer my help whenever I can and do the best I can to help them with what they need.  I think it is very important for teachers to have that urge to help people.  Because without that urge, they would have no motivation to give his or her students the best possible education that a teacher can give them.
In preparation to one day becoming a junior high or high school math teacher, I am taking classes like math classes and teaching classes to help me better understand what I am going to teacher and also to better understand how to teach it.  Another thing that is helping me prepare is my will to always learn new things.  Being a teacher you need to be able to adapt with your students and change your ways of teaching to adapt with their ways of learning. So being open to new things is always important.  One more thing that helps me prepare is this research, which helps me to know what I am eventually going to get my self into one day.
