GTC Scotland has published a new webinar, Professional ethics in teaching. 

This webinar, presented by Vikki Robertson, Teaching Standards Education Officer, GTC Scotland, aims to educate teachers on the importance of ethics as a key theme across the recently re-published digital Code of Professionalism and Conduct and to highlight the importance of ethics in teaching.  

Teaching is not only a technical role. It is complex relational and intellectual work. It requires hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute, effective ethical reasoning. 

The webinar covers:  

  • teacher professionalism 
  • trust 
  • honesty and integrity 
  • meeting the needs of learners 
  • equality and diversity.
