2. Ethical Issues in School As educators, it is our responsibility to create a safe and nurturing learning environment that promotes the holistic development of our students. Unfortunately, we often face ethical issues that can challenge this goal.

3. Ethical Issues in School Ethical issues and problems in schools are complex and multifaceted, often involving a delicate balance between the rights and responsibilities of students, teachers, administrators, and parents.

5. Discipline: Beyond Punishment 1 Restorative Practices Address the harm done rather than just punishing the student, promoting accountability and community building . 2 Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports Create a supportive environment that teaches and reinforces positive behavior expectations, prompting substantial behavioral change. 3 Student-Led Discipline Develop student accountability and leadership by entrusting them with discipline and decision-making power, creating a sense of ownership and responsibility.

6. Grading Grading and assessment are important aspects of higher education. They help measure student learning and progress, provide feedback, and ultimately determine grades and outcomes. However, there are ethical considerations that must be taken into account when grading and assessing students.

8. Cheating Cheating undermines the educational process, erodes trust, and raises ethical questions related to honesty and fairness.

10. Cheating: Building a Culture of Academic Integrity Preventative Measures Communicate your expectations for academic honesty, explain what cheating is and what the consequences will be, and create a partnership with students' families to reinforce academic integrity. Teaching Responsibility Emphasize the meaning of learning over grades and educate students on the importance of academic integrity for their personal growth and future success. Honor Code Work collaboratively with students to create an honor code, a document summarizing the principles of academic integrity, that is widely distributed and regularly discussed among students and faculty.

13. Where and When Bullying Happens Bullying can occur during or after school hours. While most reported bullying happens in the school building, a significant percentage also happens in places like on the playground or the bus. It can also travelling to or from school, in the youth’s neighborhood, or on the internet.

14. Bullying: Creating a Safe Space for All 1 Preventative Measures Implement schoolwide programs that promote SEL, respect, and inclusiveness, providing students with skills and strategies to prevent and stop bullying behaviors. 2 Restorative Justice Facilitate open discussions between the bully and the victim, allowing both parties to explore their feelings and perspectives, and work towards a resolution that is mutually agreed upon. 3 Empowering the Bystander Teach students how to recognize bullying behavior and encourage them to speak up, promoting a culture of allies who stand up for what is right, regardless of the social cost.

15. Special Treatment Ethical concerns arise when some students receive special treatment, whether due to disabilities, exceptional talents, or personal connections.

16. Special Treatment: A Slippery Slope The Problem Teacher's bias towards particular students or groups can lead to inequitable treatment, resulting in academic loss, discrimination, and damaged relationships. Solution Develop an inclusive classroom environment that fosters relationships based on respect and trust, promoting individualized learning strategies, and providing support based on students' needs rather than the teacher's convenience.

17. Let's Act: Creating a Culture of Ethical Responsibility 1 Active Listening Listen to student's concerns and take action when ethical concerns are raised. 2 Role Modeling Model ethical behavior and lead by example, communicating clearly and honestly with students about ethical issues. 3 Collaboration Collaborate with students and families to create standards of ethical behavior and values that are consistently reinforced inside and outside the classroom.
