Abstract
Having personal integrity implies acting in ways that fit with one’s philosophy and one’s related values and principles; and professional integrity involves acting in accordance with the social and moral standards of the profession. These two aspects of integrity imply being true to oneself, and being an effective professional role model—but sometimes teacher educators and teachers in schools find that their personal philosophy, values and principles vary somewhat from those of their institution and those of their students and the school community.
