Greg,
I suspect you are barking up the wrong tree.
First, regarding the code of ethics for teachers in Michigan,
http://www.michigan.gov/documents/Code_of_Ethics_Layout_128009_7.pdf
they can hardly be vaguer, and there is nothing in them remotely similar to, say, the code of ethics for lawyers.
In the profession of law, there are very specific ethical standards that carry sometimes severe penalties. For instance, if a lawyer commingles a client's money with his own, or if he enters into a professional relationship that involves a conflict of interest, the lawyer can be reprimanded, disbarred, even jailed. Here is what a real code of ethics looks like,

Take special note of "Disciplinary Rules".
Even more interesting, and far more important, it is possible to review a lawyer's work for competence. No such thing is possible with teachers, which is one reason some people scoff at the notion of teaching being a profession. There is just not enough about teaching that resembles real professions.
But, having chatted with Pooper Scooper long enough, you already knew that.
