Within the framework of World Teachers’ Day,
IIEP is launching: "Guidelines for the design
and effective use of teacher codes of conduct"
as part of its new toolkit dedicated to this issue.
The Toolkit
What is a teacher code of conduct? What should be included in its contents? Who to involve in its development? What mechanisms can be put in place to ensure its proper application? These are some of the questions which IIEP’s new toolkit on teacher codes of conduct is seeking to answer.
This toolkit, aimed at the whole education community, in particular teachers, teacher unions, ministries of education and school principals, includes detailed guidelines describing each of the steps involved in the development and effective use of a code, namely:
- Defining a code of conduct
- Formulating the content of the code
- Developing the code
- Adopting the code
- Disseminating and promoting the code
- Implementing the code effectively
- Reporting and sanctioning misconduct
- Reviewing the code and evaluating its impact
For more detailed information on each aspect of the Guidelines,
please consult the various Resources and Tools provided as part of the toolkit.
