Role model code for teachers
Published: 09 January, 2009
A draft code of conduct has been published by the General Teaching Council for England (GTCE). It says that teachers will have to act as role models in and out of school. The code extends to the socialising habits of teachers and urges teachers to consider their place in society. Nansi Ellis, head of the Association of Teachers and Lectures said, "We urge the GTCE to tread carefully with its proposed code of conduct for teachers. It is treading a potentially slippery slope if it creates a code of practice which covers teachers' behaviour in their private lives." Whilst John Bangs, head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said that, "Teachers are already aware that serious misconduct will lead to disciplinary action." Related articles:
