Ethics

1. Ethics are the standards that determine whether an action is good or bad.

2. Teachers need to be aware of ethical issues so that we can teach the good ethical behavior to our students. Cheating is a big issue in schools, and students need to know that that is something that is not ethically correct. Issues of ethics could also play a part in the materials that I use in my classroom. I have to make sure that I am not plagiarizing anything and not using ideas or materials from unethical sources.

3. The pros of being concerned with ethics is that you will be a good, honest person if you are concerned with them. As a teacher, you are a role model, so ethics definitely will have a major impact in the classroom.
I cannot really think of any negative things regarding being concerned with ethics. I guess too much of anything can be a bad thing, so being overly protective of your students and overly critical of things that may or may not be unethical could cause problems.
