The Code of Ethics for Educators defines the professional behavior of educators in Georgia and serves as a guide to ethical conduct. The Georgia Professional Standards Commission has adopted standards that represent the conduct generally accepted by the education profession. The code defines unethical conduct justifying disciplinary sanction and provides guidance for protecting the health, safety, and general welfare of students and educators, and assuring the citizens of Georgia a degree of accountability within the education profession.

“Educator” is a teacher, school or school system administrator, or other education personnel
who holds a certificate issued by the GaPSC and persons who have applied for but have not
yet received a certificate. For the purposes of the Code of Ethics for Educators, “educator” also
refers to paraprofessionals, aides, and substitute teachers. 

There are 10 Standards.  You are encouraged to study them in numerical sequence of 1 to 10.  Learning these standards can give you the knowledge of actions to avoid that could result in the forfeiture of your certificate to work in schools.
