HSE 325 Module Five Short Answer Guidelines and Rubric Overview: In Module Five, students will continue to explore ethics, values, and professionalism. Ethics, values, and professionalism are the cornerstone of the human services field. Ethical conduct is critical to ensure that the needs of families are met while maintaining societal values, beliefs, and norms.

This understanding will provide a foundation for interactions with children and families. It will also ensure that children and families are being treated with respect, dignity, and integrity.
