Code of Ethics for Northern Territory Teachers

The Board has developed the Code of Ethics for Northern Territory Teachers which outlines the professional conduct and behaviour required of approved teachers in the Territory.

The Code of Ethics is designed to help teachers navigate and resolve difficult professional and ethical dilemmas. It describes five values which underpin the profession: integrity, respect, justice, empathy and dignity.

Teachers are encouraged to use the code along with employer codes/policies and other professional codes to guide their professional conduct and behaviour.
