INSTRUCTOR’S CODE OF ETHICS

Posted on | February 15, 2010 | No Comments

Discuss with the group the following points that make up the “Code of Ethics.” Add some of your own to the following list:

  1. Be Cheerful! No matter how bad you might feel before putting on your GI. The moment you cinch the knot in your belt, your attitude should change.
  2. Be consistent! Steady attendance is a must. The instructors and students are counting on YOU.
  3. Never be un-constructively critical. Instead be constructively helpful.
  4. Be a good-finder. Look for the good in the students you’re helping and tell them about it.
  5. Never punish, discipline instead. Discipline is done out of love; punishment is done out of anger.
  6. Give the personal touch. Understand the importance of touch, eye contact, and calling the student by name.
  7. Go the extra mile. Always give more than the expected amount.
  8. Treat every student with whom you come in contact as though they are the most important person. Why?
    • To them they are.
    • We should treat people that way.
    • They will give you their friendship and their respect.
