Excellence In Adult Education | PDN Code of Conduct

The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) sponsored Illinois Adult Education Professional Development Network (PDN) strives for each delivered training to be inclusive, accessible, and offered in a positive learning environment. Our participants are partners with us in reaching that goal. Please read the short Code of Conduct and respond as directed.

I agree to abide by the following Code of Conduct while participating in all modalities (in-person training, online coursework, live virtual sessions) of professional development offered by the Illinois Adult Education PDN. I also understand the actions that may be taken if I violate the Code of Conduct.

Participants agree to:

Attend and actively participate in registered training
Plan to arrive on time for training
Participants arriving late or leaving early may not receive PD credit for the training.
Provide prompt notification of tardiness or absences
Attend training prepared to engage as a working professional.This includes dedicating full attention to the training (i.e., using web camera and mic for online training as requested, and not conducting extraneous activities such as teaching, driving, or supervising children).

Professionalism and Respect

(Adapted from the Illinois Educator Code of Ethics)

Demonstrate a high level of professional judgment by respecting the inherent dignity and worth of each person and helping to assure that the learning environment is characterized by respect and equal opportunity for each person, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, language or socioeconomic status.

Assume responsibility and accountability for performance and continually strive to demonstrate proficiency and currency in both content knowledge and professional practice.

Disclose Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Use of AI in adult education should follow the ethics, transparency, and accountability guidelines approved by the Illinois Community College Board. Please review those guidelines HERE.
