just as detrimental as saying the wrong thing at the right time. The
book, Crucial Conversations, focuses on communicating effectively in
high-stakes situations. Although it is not geared toward education, the

conversation lies the free flow of relevant information. People openly
and honestly express their opinions, share their feelings, and articulate
their theories. They willingly and capably share their views, even when

school in which this is always possible. I will strive to effectively
communicate by educating myself about each situation as much as
possible and remaining honest and respectful at all times.

enforced by administrators may not be followed by others. Unless top
ranking faculty and administrators opt to exemplify ethical behavior,
the act of encoding ethical rules may turn out to be perfunctory rather
than meaningful (Bray 80). Ethical decision-making is imperative to
quality education. I will value my code of ethics and vow to live it daily.
I will set high expectations for all of my supervisees to also follow
these guidelines.
10. I will continue my own education so that I can best serve my educational
duties to others.
