Rules Governing the Code of Ethics for Arkansas Educators (Code of Ethics) is
to define standards of ethical conduct for all educators, whether licensed or
employed under a legal waiver from licensure, and to outline procedures for
receiving complaints, authorizing and conducting investigations, and
recommending enforcement of the Code of Ethics.

3.02 The professional, ethical educator
contributes to the development and maintenance of a supportive student-focused
learning community that values and promotes human dignity, fairness, care, the
greater good and individual rights. These values are the ethical premises for
the standards of professional behavior and ethical decision-making established
in this Code of Ethics. By establishing standards of ethical conduct, the Code
of Ethics promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of students and
educators and ensures the citizens of Arkansas a degree of accountability
within the education profession.
