As the only standard of teachers'professional development standards, teachers' ethical norm has attracted wide attention from the academic circle, which has become one of the key issues that is competed to study by scholars at home and abroad in the process of teachers'professional development.The research on the teachers'ethical norm is divided into two dimensions:Firstly, system ethics is the ethical value and ethical principles in the system, namely "systematic ethics". It is the ethical concerns for the teachers'constitution construction and refers to the morality of system, which is the ethical evaluation of the system, and also overweights the following two aspects to examine the content of the system ethics: one is the special ethical principles, ethical requirements that setting up institutions must obey; the other is people's ethical evaluation of system.The system ethics is the ethical thinking and requirements for the inner contaction between standard system of social formal organization and operational mechanism. Secondly, the ethics system is "ethical system" which not only includes a system of ethical and moral nature, but also contains a certain social ethical principles and moral demands; it condenses the two problems.the evaluation of system and moral achievement;and also it contains moral values and ethical awareness which is learned from the institutional system and the system coming from certain social ethical principles and improvement of moral demands, namely the organic unity of mutual interaction of ethicalization of systems and systemization of the ethics. In this paper, teachers'code of ethics is defined as the second meaning, that is, the essence of teachers'professional system as a starting point, the normative characteristics of teachers'ethical norms and the required description of construct are studied.This determines the scope and theme of this paper.The object of education is mankind; the purpose of education is to lead the youth to pursue human future. Educational process itself contains the choice of value:the positive wisdom of teachers make human become righteous, or the anomie of teachers' words and deeds could result in serious harm to themselves and others. How to build a good ethical norm to constrain the reasonable moral value of professional teachers and realize teachers'exemplary model is the ultimate goal of this study. Around this purpose, the article has explored the root of teachers" ethical code from the three theoretical routes:One is "By other's fault, wise men correct their own" that means exploring the problems of teachers'ethical code with the help of the enthusiasm and achievements of the institutional research in institutional economics.This is an approach of "transplantion", teachers'professional ethics code as one "ethical system" was not institutionalized (moral) ethics but a system itself. This path is to solve the positioning problem of teachers'professional ethics code in the institutional system. The second theoretical path is "Come down in a continuous line", inheritng the legacy of the ancient Chinese "courtesy" and reviewing the excellent cultural traditions in the process of developing our country's specification,such as institutional features of "courtesy" and leading "courtesy" into"dharma",and also inspiring the construction of modern teachers' institutional system. The path is to solve the attribution of teachers'professional code of ethics. The third theoretical path is "Clarify matters and get to the bottom of things". By comparison with the legal norms of the educational administration and other administrative systems, it analyzes the system properties that teachers'professional ethics code of the moral legislation can not be replaced by administrative regulations and clarifies the characteristics of the ethical system of teachers'professional code of ethics. This path is to resolve the nature of the problem of teachers'professional ethics code. The "nature" works with the former "position" and "attribution" to answer the basic question that what teachers'professional ethics code is.Therefore, the main issue and relevant conclusion of this study are:First of all, the ethic of teachers is inevitable to teachers'professional development. Humanity needs to be restrained not only by regulations but also ethical institutionalization. The current landslide of teachers'morality, misbehavior and faded image has to cause worries about teachers'prestige and self reflection on their own duties. And the result of this reflection is that whether to follow the footstep of teachers' industry, or to explore rules of teachers'role changing or to pursue teachers'spiritual values will be focused on the construction of teacher's professional ethic.Secondly, the ethic of teachers is the internal self-discipline. Teachers are founders of moral regulations, which is the source of teachers" normative. Teachers'ethical regulations, as a kind of ethical requirement or an order are proposed by teachers themselves, and come from their own reason and emotion and are the inner regulations. This morality needs to be proposed and acted by rational self-consciousness and strong professional belief. Teachers'ability to reflect on self-awareness of their own actions gives them authority and it is this ability that gives moral requirements to standardization.Finally, the ethic of teachers is the combination of teachers'ethic and morality. Teachers'ethical norm can not be separated from the personality characteristics of teachers, while formulation and movement of the ethics system should implement the "human being" standards. Specifically, teachers'ethics code not only should pursue the teachers'inner spiritual values, but also should be given a reasonable external form. The former is to carry forward the teachers'doctrine again; the latter is to pursue goodness and morality.The view of this article that the unity of teaching profession and ethics is the basic path to the construction of teachers'professional ethics. Because "Teachers' Ethics" is a kind of personality and desiring "natural" morality and is the pursuit of spiritual values of teachers, while "Teachers'Morality" is the code about teachers' professional activities and professional conduct, which belongs to the morality of "an agreed teachers'obligation".and is the code of conduct for teachers. Both of them can reach the two paths of the modern teachers'moral life———Ethics and Code, Nature and Convention and combine them into one, which help teachers'individuals become beautiful and intelligent and promote the professional development in the group of teachers.
