    1. Ethics provides a foundation for what teachers should do in their roles and responsibilities as an educator. It is a framework that a teacher can use to help make decisions about what is right or wrong in a given situation.

      I think it is important to have a foundation for us teachers to refer to in order to help lead us in the right direction to make the "right" solution. This is important because sometimes teachers make connections with their students or have certain feelings towards an individual due to there behavior or whatever it may be which can hinder there decisions making. So it is important that we do not let our feelings get in the way of our decision making but rather rely on the ethics of the situation.
