TASK: 1
Teachers are often regarded as idols and best example to all students and also the local
community around the school. However, it is undeniable that there are some teachers who polluted
the teaching profession with a variety of negative things. To keep the image of the profession, every
teacher must adhere to professional ethics, teaching ethics, ethical behavior and ethics of public
service (Abd. Rahim, 2007).

The teaching profession is always bound and guided by the Teachers Code of Ethics.
According to Merriam Webster digital dictionary from meriamwebster.com (2012), ethics is the
principles that govern the behavior of individuals or groups of individuals (professionals) Teacher
ethical issues often become the focus in the media and this is a subject that need to be addressed
by all the teachers to care of the teaching profession in order not to be looked down by the society.
Waywardness of teachers code of ethics is recently among the issues taken seriously and must be
handled with prudence.
No doubt that the cost of living is constantly increasing as a result of the development that
causes people to have better life. Teachers also cannot be excluded. Therefore to meet the high
cost of living, there are teachers who have violated the ethics without realizing it. Now it is time for
the teachers to be professional and wise in carrying out the tasks entrusted, in order that the career
as a teacher is not deviated from the right track.
Students are required to perform the following tasks:
Do a critical review about media reports or journal articles on issues related to ethics and teacher
integrity by referring to teacher code of ethics, accountability and integrity.

Leadership is an important element in formal organizations. Leaders are individuals in a group
that was given the responsibility of directing and coordinating activities to achieve its objectives
(Ibrahim Mamat, 2001).
Many studies have been made in connection with the leadership and various leadership
theories have been put forward. As a school leader, be wise to analyze and show concern for these
two aspects, namely the task and human relations. The role of a leader is becoming increasingly
complex and must take a more relevant approach so that the leadership effectiveness can be
maintained.
