Elevating the Profession Through Educator Ethics - Micro-credentials

This stack of # micro-credentials is intended to teach educators how to make ethical professional decisions and understand the complex intersectionalities of relationships.

At a Glance

This stack challenges the status quo, personal beliefs, and cultural norms in order to develop a non-biased approach to ethical decision-making that allows educators to take control of their Profession. Participants examine various ethical situations including: technology dos and don'ts; relationships with students, parents, and colleagues, and; the dichotomy of a school employee's life.

Topics

  • Educator Self-Care
  • Family & Community Engagement
  • Peer Mentoring & Collaboration
  • Positive School Environments

Outcomes

  • Use knowledge of laws and policies in day-to-day decision-making to model and promote ethical behavior.
  • Learn to use research and resources to promote ethical relationships and effective interactions with members of the school community.
  • Learn to demonstrate responsible and ethical use of technology.
