Get your Badge!

It’s time to create your own Personal Code of Conduct for how you plan to work with others. “Others” may include other Digital Ambassadors or can include adults who are in the age brackets of your parents, grandparents, or senior citizens. 

Your Code of Conduct should identify things you agree to do to demonstrate being a professional. They are skills that can be observed, like showing up early to all meetings or appointments as long as it is within your control. Use the categories in this module about being professional and establishing a professional, working relationship with others. 

Your Code of Conduct should include a brief section about why these skills are important to you and others. Why did you select them? How will you monitor whether you are using them? What might you do if you feel you need to adjust your Code?

You can create your Personal Code of Conduct in any format you prefer. It should be in a format that is easy for you to share with others. You will submit a digital product, but some digital formats can also be printed. That would make it easier to share with older adults.

Note: Each Digital Ambassador should create their own Personal Code of Conduct to demonstrate their understanding of the topics and strategies in this module and to earn the Working with Adults badge. Each Digital Ambassador’s Code of Conduct can be used to generate team-based documents, agreements, or norms that can be shared with your adult learners. Having one team agreement may be simplest for those you work with.
