Kansas Code of Conduct

All Teacher education candidates (TECs) in a teacher education program participating in a field experience as a part of their degree program are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the requirements and expectations of their degree program. TECs should not engage in unprofessional conduct or unlawful behaviors in accordance to KSDE's Kansas Educator Code of Conduct:

Licensure/ KS Ed Code of Conduct Brochure

In view of these expectations, teacher education candidates participating in a field experience who are unable to meet these academic standards, as judged by university faculty and cooperating teachers, may receive a failing grade and/or face possible removal from the field experience.  For a more complete description of expectations and procedures for dismissal from field experiences see related documents in the Teacher Education Application Packet.  By initialing this line you are stating that you understand the Kansas Code of Conduct and the expectations of all TECs conducing themselves in a professional manner.                   

Grounds for Dismissal from Field Experiences

Candidates in a teacher education program participating in a clinical experience as a part of their degree program are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the requirements and expectations of their degree program. Candidates in a teacher education program should likewise not engage in unprofessional conduct or unlawful behaviors. In view of these expectations, students in a teacher education program participating in a clinical experience who are unable to meet these academic standards, as judged by faculty and cooperating teachers, may receive a failing grade and/or face possible removal from their particular clinical/field experience:

  1. Candidates may not engage in any inappropriate interactions with pupils, guardians of pupils enrolled in the school, or school or university personnel during the clinical experience. If you feel you are under any pressure to engage in inappropriate social activity, contact your university supervisor.
  2. Candidates' social interactions and communications, including use of cellular phones, Email, and the internet with school pupils, or guardians of pupils enrolled in the school, or school or university personnel, should be limited to those occurring in an official capacity at officially sponsored school events or sites.
  3. Candidates may not be in the possession of or under the influence of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs or dangerous weapons or substances on school property, nor with or in the presence of any school pupil(s).
  4. Candidates may not use sexually explicit, obscene, profane, abusive, or derogatory language on school premises or at school sponsored events; nor may they suggest access to inappropriate material (e.g., on the Internet).
  5. Candidates may not escort or transport pupils off school property unless accompanied by the cooperating teacher or another full-time employee assigned by the principal.
  6. Candidates may not leave school early, be late to school or seminars, or have absences on a consistent basis.
  7. Candidates may not falsify, forge, or alter any documents pertaining to academic records, including evaluation reports.    

In addition, if at any time your conduct causes the cooperating teacher, the principal, or the university supervisor to determine that your presence in the classroom has become detrimental to the educational program of the pupils in the class, your actions will be reviewed by a field experience review team comprised of school and university officials and/or you may be asked to leave the school and your placement could be terminated by the University.

Should you be asked to leave the school based upon your behavior or your failure to perform at a satisfactory level, 萝莉社is not obligated to reassign you to another school. Failure to abide by these regulations may result in any of the following consequences: removal from field experiences, judicial action by 萝莉社 University, legal action, and/or failure of course work.         

I have read and am aware of 萝莉社's Guidelines for Professional Conduct during Field Experiences and Grounds for Dismissal from Field Experiences.
