Above all, teachers must demonstrate integrity, impartiality and ethical behavior in the classroom and in their conduct with parents and coworkers. Teachers must model strong character traits, such as perseverance, honesty, respect, lawfulness, patience, fairness, responsibility and unity.
That's a very complex question, but here's the code of practice for those of us who are Fellows of Advance HE in the UK: https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.creode.advancehe-document-manager/documents/advance-he/Fellowship%20Code%20of%20Practice%20Aug%2020_1597327636.pdf.

As a student, I expect my teachers to be very much supportive in understanding my talents and correcting my mistakes. Furthermore, I think teachers should treat all the students in an equal manner, they must be full of patience, and they must always respect the teacher-student relationship that they should not do anything which will tarnish the image of a good teacher. In other words, they must be with good self discipline. I think the way a teacher dresses, talk, walk like everything related to his or her social behaviour matters very much because their students are always watching them and some students consider their teachers as role models.
This is the ethical principals for swedish teacher (not university level). It has been translated by google translate.
Teachers commit to that in their professional practice
take responsibility for students' knowledge growth, support their personal development and create good conditions for each student's learning, development and ability to develop critical thinking.
always treat students with respect for their person and integrity and protect each individual from harm, violation and harassment.
not discriminate against anyone with regard to gender, sexual identity, ethnic, political and religious affiliation or social and cultural background, nor p.g.a. ability or achievement.

For primary and secondary students (approximately 5-19 years old), there is guidance used in training courses.
In the UK, there are national teaching standards: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teachers-standards
In addition, the Chartered College of Teachers published Professional Principles: https://chartered.college/professional-principles/
There are also ethics related to teachers who choose to carry out pedagogical research in the classroom, one guidance is here: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/polopoly_fs/1.165644!/file/SREGP-Participatory-Action-Research.pdf
The teacher should assume the ethical responsibility for his or her performance and continually strive to maintain the dignity of the profession by respecting the law, service rules and by demonstrating personal integrity. The teacher should apply for, accept, or assign a position or a responsibility on the basis of the terms of conditions of appointment. Teacher should follow the research and publication ethics. He or she should maintain a sound mental and physical health, and show social prudence necessary to perform the duties. Teacher should not intentionally misrepresent official policies of the institution, and clearly distinguishes institutional views from personal opinions. Honestly accounting for all funds committed to his or her charge, teacher should not use institutional or professional privileges for personal or partisan advantage. Exemplifying ethical relations with colleagues, teacher should accord just and equitable treatment to all members of the profession. Not revealing confidential information concerning colleagues unless required by law, teacher should not make false statements about a colleague or the college system. He or she should not interfere with a colleague's freedom of choice and works.
The teacher should recognize that quality education is the common goal of the parents, public, college administration, and that a cooperative effort is essential among such groups to attain that goal. He or she makes concerted efforts to communicate to parents all information that should be revealed in the interest of the student. The teacher should endeavor to understand and respect the values and traditions of the diverse cultures represented in his or her classroom.
University professors have an eminent position in our society. As such they should be role models for their students. There are various attributes associated with a good professor, e.g. excellent research, publications and citations, international collaboration, high quality of teaching, leadership qualities, and high standards of ethics and moral.
One of the ethics of teaching is for the teacher to be of personality, to be patient, to deal with students and professors, to be good peers, to be familiar with his information and to the material he gives to students, to be of benefit and have applications in the fields of life.
For university level, I recommend reading my paper top-cited articles on medical professionalism. These 50 papers represent the core curriculum of professionalism. The whole aim of teaching medical professionalism is not the theory but being a role model to others around you.
I agree with Afyaa Younis 's answer ...One of the ethics of teaching is for the teacher to be of personality, to deal with students and professors, to be good peers, to be familiar with his information and to the material he gives to students, to be of benefit and have applications in the fields of life.
Higher school pedagogy has its ethical aspects, marked by specific features. Like pedagogical ethics in general, the ethics of attitudes and behavior of a university teacher includes several blocks. First, it is an ethic of attitude to one's work, including an awareness of responsibility to students, colleagues, and one's field of scientific knowledge; choice of learning strategy and tactics; use of own scientific experience as information for listeners, etc. Second, university ethics includes the ethics of the relationship between the two main participants in the process of direct transfer of knowledge - teacher and student. Third, a special block is the relationship between teachers - the ethics of interaction between teachers in the process of achieving a common goal, which is the transfer of students with reliable knowledge and their formation as future colleagues of teachers themselves. Fourth, the attribute of higher school is the ethics of scientific creativity, questioned by the special position of the university teacher, who is obliged to combine in his life the functions of teacher and scientist. All these aspects are closely intertwined. It is almost impossible to determine which of them is more important.
Commitment to integrity and honesty, truth, objectivity and fairness are matters of significant importance in the ethics of the teaching professional! Besides having competence in their profession, teachers are role models for character and conduct both in and outside of the classroom, and which includes respect and patience for others.
I teach special education, a field with a leading international organization that publishes ethical standards. https://exceptionalchildren.org/
The Association of American Educators also publishes a more general code of ethics for Educators. https://www.aaeteachers.org/index.php/about-us/aae-code-of-ethics
You can also find a Model Code of Ethics for Educators at https://www.nasdtec.net/page/MCEE_Doc.
My major concern as a professor of medicine in my field of psychiatry and child psychiatry is to avoid what I call the "traumatic repetition of tradition." By this, I mean that we must avoid simply repeating past knowledge, practices and procedures in the name of the authority of tradition in order to stop it from repeating mistakes and blind alleys.
