Professional ethics for educators include maintaining high standards of professional conduct both inside and outside the classroom. Guidelines address proper teacher-student relationships and boundaries, responsible use of school resources, compliance with laws and policies, and upholding a code of ethics. The Texas Administrative Code and Educators' Code of Ethics establish enforceable standards regarding educators' responsibilities and prohibited behaviors. Maintaining integrity, respect, honesty and fairness guides ethical decision making.

Child development refers to the biological, psychological, and emotional changes that occur in children as they grow from infancy to adolescence. It involves the progressive acquisition of skills, knowledge, and behaviors that enable children to navigate and interact with their environment.
Child development can be broadly categorized into different domains:
Physical Development: This domain encompasses the physical changes and milestones children go through, such as growth in height and weight, motor skills development (e.g., crawling, walking), and the maturation of sensory abilities.
Cognitive Development: Cognitive development refers to the intellectual and thinking abilities of children. It includes processes such as attention, memory, language acquisition, problem-solving, logical reasoning, and conceptual understanding.
Social and Emotional Development: Social and emotional development involves the formation of relationships, understanding and expressing emotions, developing empathy, self-awareness, and social skills. It encompasses the child's ability to interact with others, establish friendships, and regulate their emotions.
Language and Communication Development: Language development involves the acquisition of spoken and written language skills. It includes understanding and producing sounds, vocabulary growth, grammar, and communication skills necessary for effective expression and comprehension.
Moral and Ethical Development: Moral and ethical development pertains to the child's understanding of right and wrong, their sense of empathy, and the development of values and ethical reasoning. This domain is influenced by cultural, societal, and familial factors.
Child development is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetic predispositions, environmental factors, social interactions, parenting styles, educational opportunities, and cultural influences. It is a dynamic and ongoing process that unfolds at an individual pace and can be influenced by both positive and negative experiences.
Understanding child development is essential for parents, educators, caregivers, and professionals working with children. It helps inform appropriate expectations, interventions, and support to facilitate healthy growth and development.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

What does compliant mean to an educator?
Educators have a responsibility to ensure that students gain the knowledge and skills they require to become effective learners and ultimately effective and responsible citizens who understand and appreciate the values and beliefs supported by society.
They also have a responsibility to meet the high standards of professional and ethical behavior required by their district, the public, parents and the profession itself.
Teachers who undertake this responsibility and who are compliant within the framework of the law and lawful instructions from their school district are considered ethical educators.
What happens if an educator is non-compliant?
First and foremost---Follow your district and campus policies and procedures! What happens if we don’t?
The importance of knowing school policies and procedures cannot be overstated. Every school has different policies and procedures. Know the protocols in your school and follow them. Do not follow the lead of others who disregard these procedures. Those who hired you expect you to honor school rules. Never forget your status as a “student teacher” or “new hire.”
It’s important to remember that the school committee sets school policies. Teachers who do not respect school policies run the risk of embarrassing the school. Teachers who negatively affect the school’s reputation also jeopardize their own professional reputation as well as their employment status.
All district employees should perform their duties in accordance with state and federal law, district policies and procedures and ethical standards. Violation of policies, regulations, or guidelines may result in disciplinary action, including termination.
Educators are expected to do their best work possible and to comply with all policies. Educators who are out of compliance will be notified either verbally or in writing as to the improvements necessary to be in compliance. The School Board Policy Manual is a great resource to refer to. This manual can usually be found at central office, the front office or the district’s website.
All districts handle non-compliance situations differently. Alleged violations of a policy may be discussed in a conference between the employee and the building principal. If the principal finds the violation(s) to be factual, the principal shall issue a written reprimand to the employee(s) involved. This reprimand shall become a part of the employee’s personnel file. Repeated violations may result in non-renewal of an employee’s contract or dismissal.
Ethical Decisions and Consequences
Almost every day, the news reports situations where teachers, coaches, administrators and students are not ethical. They are making choices that put themselves and others in unethical and often illegal situations. Different states and school districts handle things differently. It is important to ask and know where to find the guidelines for each school district. This is especially important for teachers of Instructional Practices in Education and Training since students are also involved with other students on other campuses.
Educators are strongly discouraged from having personal pages on Myspace, Facebook or other social networking sites. Educators in some districts have experienced problems with inappropriate communications with students, as well as inappropriate content being posted on their pages by themselves or their “friends.” In some cases, educators have been dismissed due to inappropriate content on their personal web pages. Educators are also advised not to use class time to engage in communications of a personal nature with others.
Fraud and Financial Impropriety
All employees should act with integrity and diligence in duties involving the district’s financial resources. All districts prohibit fraud and financial impropriety, as defined below. Fraud and financial impropriety include the following:
• Forgery or unauthorized alteration of any document or account belonging to the district
• Forgery or unauthorized alteration of a check, bank draft or any other financial document
• Misappropriation of funds, securities, supplies or other district assets including employee time
• Impropriety in the handling of money or reporting of district financial transactions
• Profiteering as a result of insider knowledge of district information or activities
• Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or proprietary information to outside parties
• Unauthorized disclosure of investment activities engaged in or contemplated by the district
• Accepting or seeking anything of material value from contractors, vendors or other persons providing services or materials to the district
• Destroying, removing or inappropriately using records, furniture, fixtures or equipment
• Failing to provide financial records required by state or local entities
• Failure to disclose conflicts of interest as required by policy
• Any other dishonest act regarding the finances of the district
A good work ethic is an attitude that combines hard work, good performance and dependable results.
How can your ethics help you develop strong relationships in a work environment?
Professionals do not use profanity on the job and avoid gossip.
Can you think of any other descriptions for professional behavior?
Do not let what happens at home or in your personal life affect your work life.
Is it a good idea to date someone that you work with? Why or why not?
Embezzlement occurs when a trusted employee takes either money or goods entrusted to them. They can be arrested, fined and/or sent to prison.
A 2010 report by TD Bank Financial Group estimated that employee theft played a role in the bankruptcy of one out of 10 failed small- to medium-sized businesses. A study of 23 large retail companies by loss-prevention consulting firm Jack L. Hayes International shows that 71,095 dishonest employees were apprehended in 2012, up 5.5 percent from 2011. In total, more than $50 million was recovered in those cases, up 7 percent from a year earlier. How would you feel if you were a business owner and this was occurring at your place of business?
These are considered soft skills or transferable skills. These are skills which individuals must develop, refine, practice and reinforce. Why are they called transferable skills? They are called transferable skills because you can transfer them from one situation or career to another. Here is a list of additional transferable skills:
Negotiating
Tactfulness
Patience with difficult people
Setting priorities
Completing projects on time
Problem solving
Management
Leadership
Accepting responsibility
Decision making
Cooperating
Can you think of skills you have that you can transfer to many different situations or careers?
Responsibility - employees show up for work on time and work diligently to become familiar with job duties and perform them correctly
Flexibility - employees can adjust to changes without complaining
Honesty - employees admit their mistakes and find out how to prevent making them again
Teamwork – employees work with a large team
Commitment - the quality that supports all your abilities and skills to build a strong work ethic
Excellence – employees make the most of opportunities to improve their abilities and learn new skills
A reliable employee:
•Arrives at work on time
•Keeps personal matters separate from business matters
•Works a full shift
•Carries out a variety of assigned tasks without constant prompting
•Takes on extra work when necessary without complaint
•Gets enough rest to work effectively
•Maintains good personal, physical and mental health
How can joining a career and technical student organization help you build a good work ethic?
Workplace ethics serve as guiding principles that effective leaders use in setting professional tone and behavior.
Many establishments have created written codes of ethics, which are designed to remove the guesswork about what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
These codes of ethics may include employee treatment, wages, benefits, working conditions, behavior of employees and any other issues that may impact operations.
To determine whether a decision or action is based on sound workplace ethics, managers and employees should ask these questions.
Are all these valid questions to keep in mind as an employee? Why or why not?
