As teachers continue professional development throughout their careers to better serve the educational needs of students who are gifted, it becomes apparent that one of the goals is to strive to increase self-awareness of ethical and moral professional decisions and actions. Often, this requires intentional reminders and deliberate work to increase awareness or consciousness to facilitate continual emotional growth. Furthermore, teachers are the mirrors for gifted students as they evaluate their values, actions, civility, and ethics for living and working among others, which is of particular importance in gifted education. The authors present some ways that ethical teaching includes both awareness of the codes of ethics published by professional organizations and the actions to enhance ethical awareness, such as reflective teaching, contemplative practices, and proactive ethical classrooms.
