CODE OF CONDUCT
It is important for employees to know what professional conduct is expected while on the job. In most instances, an individual’s own good judgment will tell him or her what the right thing to do is.
Believers in Jesus are to live lives before others that are worthy of imitation (1 Thessalonians 1:4-7). To be a Christian role model for others to imitate is a legitimate and essential task for teachers of children and young people.
Further, the biblical model for the nurture of children is not found in a particular family, for it is obvious upon examination of parenting in the scriptures that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). Rather, God’s approach to the nurture of children was best demonstrated through his chosen people, the Hebrews. This approach couples example or demonstration with explanatory instruction as described in Deuteronomy 6:4-9:
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
The nurture described here is both private and public, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Parents are called to be godly role models for their children, living out their faith and then explaining it to them as they walk with them. Teachers, who have been delegated authority by parents to function in loco parentis with their children, must assume the mantle of Christian role model as well—in school and out.
In addition to complying with policies and job-specific requirements, employees are also expected to obey the rules and regulations of Trinity School and the exhortations of Holy Scripture for faith and practice.
