*Principles of Professional Conduct at Townsend:* All staff must adhere to
following principles of professionalism to ensure that the relationships
between and among those in the education process foster personal and
educational growth, individual well-being, positivity, and a nurturing
educational environment centered on respectful, learning-focused engagement
by staff and students alike.

   - Value the worth and dignity of every person, including staff,
   students, parents, the public, and yourself; the pursuit of truth; devotion
   to excellence; acquisition of knowledge; and the nurture of a professional
   environment. Essential to the achievement of these standards are the
   freedom to learn and to teach bearing in mind the different types of
   learning styles and the guarantee of equal opportunity for all.
   - Exercise the professional judgment and integrity in decision-making
   with one primary concern in mind at all times: the development of each
   student’s academic and social potential.
   - Maintain respect for and the confidence of colleagues, students,
   parents, and the public while striving to achieve, including through the
   sustaining of the highest degree of ethical conduct.
   - Communicate in a manner that demonstrates the value of others that
   focuses on helping students understand the relationship between the
   subjects they are learning and the importance of education to their quality
   of life, helps students understand their personal responsibility for
   setting their own goals and academic and vocational success, and shows a
   commitment and interest in their success.

   - Reports evidence of child abuse as required by law.
   - Collaborate with others in a positive manner, including when under
   pressure, and maintain and demonstrate a sense of humor, humility, and
   empathy. Passive-aggressive conduct, backstabbing, gossiping, and similar
   conduct is negative and counterproductive to not only the educational
   experience but also the workplace experience. It is your responsibility to
   set an example of appropriate, professional, and respectful workplace and
   adult conduct for the students. You are as much a role model as an educator.
