Event Dates: 2/14/2010 through 2/18/2010

Brief Description: Every year, a significant number of teachers leave the profession because of ethical and legal issues. In some cases, the departure is due to a misunderstanding. In other cases, it is due to a lack of knowledge about specific standards. And in rare instances, it is a result of deliberate illegal or unethical behavior on the part of a student or a teacher. In cooperation with the North Carolina Bar Association, this seminar will explore the ethical rights and responsibilities of educators in North Carolina. We will examine law that supports and protects students and teachers, and explore avenues for avoiding and ameliorating conflict between teachers, parents, students, administrators, and school staff. Topics will include liability issues, free speech issues, employee law, religious issues, cyberlaw, student records issues, ethics programs, anti-bullying initiatives, and conflict resolution strategies. Administrators are welcome and encouraged to apply. Join us as we work together to foster a safer school environment. “Registration begins September 29, 2009.”
