| Commitment to the Student, Principle I |
The educator measures his success by the progress of each student toward realization of his potential as a worthy and effective citizen. The educator therefore works to stimulate the spirit of inquiry, the acquisition of knowledge and understanding, and the thoughtful formation of worthy goals.
In fulfilling his obligations to the student, the educator - -
Shall not without just cause restrain the student from independent action in his pursuit of learning, and shall not without just cause deny the student access to varying points of view.
Shall not deliberately suppress or distort subject matter for which he bears responsibility and shall not deliberately impose his own views on the student.
Shall make reasonable effort to protect the student from conditions harmful to learning or to health and safety.
Shall conduct professional business in such a way that he does not expose the student to unnecessary embarrassment or disparagement.
Shall not on the ground of race, color, creed or national origin exclude any student from participation in or deny him benefits under any program, nor grant any discriminatory consideration or advantages.
Shall not use professional relationships with students for private advantage.
Shall keep in confidence information that has been obtained in the course of professional services, unless disclosure serves professional purposes or is required by law.
