Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
We, professional educators of New Mexico, affirm our belief
				  in the worth and dignity of humanity. We recognize the supreme importance of
				  the pursuit of truth, the encouragement of scholarship, and the promotion of
				  democratic citizenship. We regard as essential to these goals the protection of
				  freedom to learn and to teach with the guarantee of equal educational
				  opportunity for all. We affirm and accept our responsibility to practice our
				  profession according to the highest ethical standards. We acknowledge the
				  magnitude of the profession we have chosen, and engage ourselves, individually
				  and collectively, to judge our colleagues and to be judged by them in
				  accordance with the applicable provisions of this code.
A. Principle I: Commitment to the student. We
				measure success by the progress of each student toward achievement of his/her
				maximum potential. We therefore work to stimulate the spirit of inquiry, the
				acquisition of knowledge and understanding, and the thoughtful formulation of
				worthy goals. We recognize the importance of cooperative relationships with
				other community institutions, especially the home. In fulfilling our obligation
				to the student, we:
(1) deal justly and
				considerately with each student;
(2) encourage the student to study and
				express varying points of view and respect his/her right to form his/her own
				judgment;
(3) conduct conferences
				with or concerning students in an appropriate place and manner;
(4) seek constantly to improve learning
				facilities and opportunities.

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
A.
				Preamble
(1) We, licensed New Mexico
				educators acknowledge that ethical values in our schools cannot exist without
				ethical leadership. It is our ultimate goal to educate children so that they
				may become productive citizens; we understand that our guidance and ability to
				provide choices has a profound effect on reaching this goal. In affording
				students and each other choices, we agree to consider the consequence of each
				choice, the moral value best exemplified by the recommended choice, and our
				position on the choice if it were applied to us. These principles apply equally
				to all licensed educators in all schools except where they are uniquely
				applicable to public schools or where they conflict with principles of
				religious freedom.
(2) Moral values
				are to ethical leadership what years of experience are to a successful
				educator. The former sets the stage for success of the latter. Abstract
				principles that espouse excellence do not easily equate into simple behavioral
				maxims. We are certain that some foundational concepts can be embraced because
				they truly celebrate desirable moral values. These concepts are: respect for
				one's self and others, honesty and openness, the delicate balance between
				absolute freedom and safety, the equally delicate balance between
				confidentiality and the right to know, equality of opportunity, fairness to
				all, and personal integrity.
(3) In
				the final analysis it is our consistent ethical leadership that wins the most
				allies and produces the best results. Not only does this code highlight our
				professional responsibilities, but also it stimulates us to discuss the
				professional implications of our ethical choices and ethical recommendations,
				causes us to assess and reassess our application of moral values, and sets
				forth concrete behaviors appropriate for education professionals. We are
				committed to this code and understand that it provides minimally accepted
				standards of professional conduct in education.
New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 6 - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION › Chapter 60 - SCHOOL PERSONNEL - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Part 9 - LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS, CODE OF ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EDUCATION PROFESSION › Section 6.60.9.10 - FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS CODE

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The PED finds that adherence to this code of ethical
				  responsibility has a significant bearing on licensed personnel's competence,
				  turpitude or the proper performance of their duties. It makes the same finding
				  for any other person providing instructional or education-related services in a
				  school who holds any license, certificate or written authority issued by the
				  instructional or education-related services in a school who hold any license,
				  certificate or written authority issued by the PED. Both the code of ethics and
				  standards of professional conduct are intended to provide a valuable framework
				  of personal ethics to assist educators and administrators in their interaction
				  with colleagues, students and parents. However, the standards of professional
				  conduct establish minimal standards of acceptable professional conduct with
				  which all educators and administrators are required to comply. Therefore, the
				  PED through the educator ethics bureau may revoke, suspend or take other
				  appropriate action against any educator license of any person, or may deny
				  applications for initial licensure or continuing licensure to any person, who
				  is within the scope of this rule, and who after hearing, is found to have
				  engaged in ethical misconduct, by failing to comply with one or more of the
				  enumerated provisions of the standards of professional conduct set forth in
				  6.60.9.9
				  NMAC, above, exclusive of the preamble. All hearings and attendant notices
				  shall be conducted and served pursuant to the Uniform Licensing Act
				  61-1-1
				  through
				  61-1-31,
				  NMSA 1978 and either 6.68.2 NMAC or 6.68.3 NMAC.

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The PED shall adopt measures to ensure that this code of
				  ethical responsibility receives the widest possible dissemination to all
				  persons falling within its scope. Such measures include but are not limited
				  to:
A. providing information about the
				code of ethical responsibility directly through the PED and the PED's
				application process;
B. providing
				information about the code of ethical responsibility to all school districts,
				charter schools, and non-public schools accredited by the PED;
C. notifying any school district, charter
				school or private school accredited by the PED of the decision and order of the
				PED after the PED has taken final licensure action against one of that school's
				PED licensed employees based in whole or in part on a failure to comply with
				the standards of professional conduct;
D. any other reasonable measure that is
				calculated to result in the widest dissemination of the PED's code of ethical
				responsibility and notification of the consequences of failure to comply with
				the standards of professional conduct.
