Code+of+Ethics

For children with learning difficulties or disabilities, acceptance and inclusion in educational practice can often be a challenging concept. Many teachers are able to use different strategies and methods to increase the inclusion of these students with their peers and allow them to develop socially, academically. However, a resource that could be referred to in the process of looking into different methods and strategies is the Code of Conduct from the NSW Department of Education and Training. This code encourages the responsibilities and ethical behaviour for teachers to ensure they are providing the best education to their students and inclusion is incorporated into this teaching. Teachers should recognise both their rights, the rights of students in the class as well as those students with a learning difficulty. As stated by the Cody of Conduct by the NSW Department of Education and Training, teachers (and all staff) "must not discriminate against any person on the grounds of race, sex.. disability, age..." (2004, p. 21).
