Common Cause and Solidarity

Many codes of ethics also explicitly endorse an advocacy role for professionals to promote the values stated in the code. The AMA Declaration of Professional Responsibility, for example, asserts a commitment to "advocate for social, economic, educational, and political changes that ameliorate suffering and contribute to human well-being" (Riddick, 2003).

The codes vary from advice to "teach what uplifts and unites people and refuse to be, in any way whatsoever, the propagandists of a partisan conception" (Soleil, 1923) to establishing a shared vision of teaching and to "to identify the values, knowledge and skills that are distinctive to the teaching profession" (OCT, 2016) to expressing solidarity with other members of the profession, for example, stating that criticism of other members will be conducted in private (BCTF, 2020).
