Teaching is a risky profession. Every day educators face complex situations that aren’t easily addressed by school rules and regulations. And yet, we are expected to make the best decision. Many decisions – often performed out of kindness and care for students – have potential serious consequences. How can educators remain sensitive to needs and protect themselves from the risk when interacting with students, parents, and colleagues?
In this edWebinar, learn how districts develop a collaborative culture of ethical decision-making and open communications. In this edWebinar, learn how to respond to three real-life scenarios and relate these scenarios to an ethics-based, decision-making framework. With the goal of creating awareness of professional risk, this edWebinar underscores the value of subscribing to a code of professional ethics, the power of collaborative decision-making, and presents models to encourage transparency and build trust among colleagues while protecting our profession and supporting the welfare and safety of our students.
This recorded edWebinar will be of benefit to Pre-K through higher education teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and HR staff.
