I have ranked the issue of Professional Development at number five because…Actually, Meninger (1986) said that…
Both provide nurturing learning environments.
The professional educator strives to create a learning environment that nurtures to fulfillment the potential of all students.( http://aaeteachers.org/index.php/about-us/aae-code-of-ethics) “Our intentionally-small class sizes allow our instructors to provide you with a comprehensive foundation to build your confidence in the classroom. Earning a degree from GCU's College of Education provides the essential knowledge and in-demand skills needed for today's demanding and diverse classrooms.” (GCU.EDU)
Both provide nurturing learning environments is extremely important in my opinion 2.

The professional educator acts with conscientious effort to exemplify the highest ethical standards.
GCU has developed a variety of education degrees to provide the essential knowledge and skills needed for today's most demanding and diverse classrooms. (GCU.EDU)
I think this is the most important because it relates to the morals of common decency on how people should be treated. Respect.

The professional educator manifests a positive and active role in school/community relations.(CEO
website)
Our intentionally-small class sizes allow our instructors to provide you with a comprehensive foundation to build your confidence in the classroom. Earning a degree from GCU's College of Education provides the essential knowledge and in-demand skills needed for today's demanding and diverse classrooms.” (GCU.EDU)

It is number 7 although I still feel it is very important to make sure the educators and students are in comfortable environments
The professional educator deals considerately and justly with each student, and seeks to resolve problems, including discipline, according to law and school policy.

“The professional educator endeavors to understand and respect the values and traditions of the diverse cultures represented in the community and in his or her classroom.” (GCU.EDu)
Each student is different by understand the diversity in the classroom teachers work with their students to accept that we are all different and have different opinions when it comes to learning and our styles. GCU values that students follow the rules and learn to work with instructors and fellow classmates whether it be through integrating on the forum or in other instances. This is 5 on my list because the order of a community of a school is important but not a health risk.
The professional educator does not reveal confidential information concerning students, unless required by law.
(http://aaeteachers.org/index.php/about-us/aae-code-of-ethics)

The professional educator endeavors to maintain the dignity of the profession by respecting and obeying the law, and by demonstrating personal integrity.
I would rank this 3 integrity of students and privacy is extremely important in a schools reputation.
The professional educator makes a constructive effort to protect the student from conditions detrimental to learning, health, or safety. (http://aaeteachers.org/index.php/about-us/aae-code-of-ethics)
The tour speaks of the save , new, learning environment providing state of the art facilities. *GCU website)
I would rank this number 1, a save learning environment and healthy conditions along with safety are first and foremost the most important credential a school can have.
The professional educator endeavors to present facts without distortion, bias, or personal prejudice.(http://aaeteachers.org/index.php/about-us/aae-code-of-ethics)
One-size learning does not fit all! "21 C's: Professional Resources for Positive Change" is an affordable, flexible professional development program supporting the unique needs of educational leaders in the delivery of high quality instruction. (GCU.EDU)
I would rank this 4 because it is important how facts are presented in order to be interpreted correctly.
