...Ethical Implications of Classroom Management 2 There are many things as teachers we have to watch out for when it comes to being good role models for students. The wrong move towards a student can lead to the beginning of a long drawn out process that can get your teaching license revoked, or worse than that jail. Knowing the rights and regulations for student and parent will neglect such things. We as role models have to be careful of the tone we use, grabbing a child, mistreating a child, or even abusing the child. As long as we keep control of the classroom and outside of the classroom none of these things should happen. Unfortunately these things do happen, but if you use the right methods not only as a teacher but human being these things will be after thoughts. An article in The Journal of Education Research, described that aggressive teaching methods have been documented in Israeli, China and Australia. These tactics have made the students distant and have a negative feel for teachers. Some of the things the article talks about are horrible classroom management skills by teachers and disrespectful students. Part of the journal states that “students behaviors are purposeful acts based on their interpretations of school and classroom life, especially their relationships with teachers (Schlosser, 1992). Part of the problem researchers attribute this too is teacher misbehavior. There...

...Running head: ETHICS LEGALITY CLASSROOM Ethics and Legality in Classroom Management Jordan Hollern GCU EDU 536 03/04/2012 Ethics and Legality in Classroom Management A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four peer-reviewed articles that address the legal and ethical implications for classroom management related to the rights and responsibilities of students, parents and teachers. The first article under review is Public School Law-Teachers and Student’s Rights in which the legal rights of both the teacher and the students are defined. The article also includes the legal liabilities of the teacher in the classroom. The Negligent Tort Law states that a teacher may be held accountable by a court of law if he or she could have foreseen and prevented the injury by exercising proper care (McCarthy & Cambron-McCabe, 1992). The duty of the teacher in the classroom is to protect the students (McCarthy, et.al, 1992). The teacher must take all precautions...

In this article will analysis the ethical, legal, and ethical implications of this issue. In order to discuss the ethical, legal, and social implications of this issue, one has to understand the definition of Ethical Hacking. The Word Spy states that "Ethical hacking is a computer hacker who attempts to infiltrate a secure computer system in an effort to learn the system's weaknesses so that they can be repaired" (The Word Spy, 2003). The question arises here is whether Ethical Hacking is ethical or unethical. Ethical The "Computer Ethics" states in part that all information belongs to everyone and there should be no boundaries or restraints to prevent disclosure of this information (Johnson, 1994).

...6306: Ethics and Legal Issues Walden University Comparing Codes of Ethics The mental health counseling profession is guided by basic ethical guidelines that outline legal and moral responsibilities. Professional standards are necessary for counselors to understand the implications of their actions and behavior in the field. Good intentions do not guarantee appropriate practice. The American Mental Health Counselors’ Association (AMHCA) and American Counseling Association (ACA) provide standards for education and training counselors to better understand their role and provide oversight of ethical and legal issues commonly experienced by counselors on a day to day basis. Similarities between AMHCA and ACA Codes of Ethics The spirit and commitment to competent application of counseling procedure and professional courtesy is the underlying theme shared by the principles and guidelines of the AMHCA and ACA ethical codes. The ACA standards in Section A regarding the Counseling Relationship explore the counselor’s relationship to the client in regards to sensitivity and the mission to safeguard the client from harm during counseling process. (ACA 2014) The AMHCA principle under I.A.1 “Primary Responsibility”, also addresses the overall goal of counselors to look out for client welfare by following appropriate process and procedure.

...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Monday, March 12, 2012 My Cousin Vinny: a story about legal education The Abnormal Use blog is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the release of the movie My Cousin Vinny by publishing a series of comments and interviews and also by sponsoring a multi-blog discussion on the movie. Go here to get more information. When my students ask me to recommend movies, I give them a list I have prepared over the years in which I have organized the titles under certain main “themes.” No one is surprised to see My Cousin Vinny on the list, but some are surprised I have listed it under the theme of “legal education.” So, I thought I’d use my contribution to the Abnormal Use blog’s celebration to explain why. One reason I place My Cousin Vinny under the theme of legal education is that it provides so much material you can use in the classroom. For example, you can use the movie to discuss criminal procedure, courtroom decorum, professional responsibility, unethical behavior, the role of the judge in a trial, efficient cross-examination, the role of expert witnesses and effective trial advocacy. Go here, here and here for more on this. But the reference to legal education goes deeper. I think you can use the movie to discuss the most common topic of debate within legal education itself. Interestingly, however, in My Cousin Vinny, the issue is turned on its head. After Vinny’s girlfriend Mona Lisa bails him out for a second time after having been...

...Legal and Ethical Implications for Classroom Management Grand Canyon University- EDU 450 October 12, 2013 As teacher we have legal and ethical right when it comes to classroom management. Students and teachers have a right to learn and teach in a stress free classroom that is not going to cause harm to themselves and others. Within this paper I will discuss four articles that address the legal and ethical implications for classroom management related to the rights and responsibilities of students, teacher, and parents. The first article I read and will discuss is the Rights and Responsibilities of the Teacher and Student by Sarah Ganly. The article talked about the responsibility of the educator in the classroom and the legal rights of the students. The author addresses the liability teachers have and how they are held accountable to a certain degree. For instance, the law states that a teacher is held liable/accountable for a student’s welfare if foreseeable of harm exists (Ganly, 2007). When parents send their children to school as teacher we know students safety is top priority and better known as a legal right for the child. In the same sense parents have the right to enroll their child into a school or program that has their child best interest in mind and make it a priority. Needless to say not everyone is going to always agree on what is unforeseeable and foreseeable incident the same. When incidents occur in the classroom it should looked over individual...

...Nursing Education Program Funding Health Policy Capella University MBA 6275 May 24, 2015 Nursing Education Program Funding Health Policy Health Policy Topic & Problem There is a need to support education programs such as Title VIII funding in FYs 2015 and 2016 (AANP, 2015). It is vital that Congress preserve funding for nurse practitioners educational programs, traineeships, and Nurse Managed Clinics. Congress must reduce federal spending through the Division of Nursing in the Bureau of Health Professions of the Department of Health and Human Services. The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) are advocates for nurse practitioners and patients. The AANP’s legislative team identify critical issues related to licensure, access to care, patient safety, health care reform, and reimbursement. They represent NPs on national committees and in health organization. Thus, the AANP is fighting Congress for sufficient funding for Nurse Education Programs (2015). The writer will introduce a new policy to improve the nursing shortage. Literature Review According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2014), a shortage of nursing school faculty is restricting nursing program enrolments.

...treatment, and are aware of these options and their implications (NASW 2003). Education and adoption of these policies are important in the light of a study (Csikai & Bass, 2000) which showed that a majority of social workers were not aware these NASW policies even exist, or were only somewhat familiar with them. There are ethical issues that are specific to the field of social work, but there are other fields that a social worker will be interacting with, so a broad knowledge base is necessary. The NASW Standards expect social workers to be familiar with bioethical issues, legal issues around the dying process, and other medical and cultural considerations that arise in the process of dying. The NASW does not take a moral position on end of life decisions, but as part of the ethical principle of autonomy, the practice standards make sure to encourage the client’s right to make determinations about level of...

...Administrative Ethics Paper Administrative Ethics Paper The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing has a current article named “Caring for Patients While Respecting Their Privacy: Renewing Our Commitment”. The basis of the article concerns the ethical and legal issues concerning the “Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act” otherwise known as (HIPPA). This law has impacted the healthcare industry and the way in which healthcare workers conduct themselves with patients, their families, and with one another. In nursing the importance of confidentiality has always been the forefront of patient care. The current Code of Ethics for Nurses (ANA,2001) is clear in its intent and meaning as it relates to the nurses primary role in promoting and advocating patient’s rights relating to privacy and confidentiality. Every nurse has always understood the need for patient confidentiality even before (HIPPA) was law. Truth being with advanced technology, new demands in healthcare, and recent developments in the world at large has made it more difficult to keep this promise. But keep it they must. As healthcare workers on any given day we hear and see private and confidential information, it is our duty to protect it. On occasion we do become comfortable with patient’s medical information that it can be easy to forget that as healthcare workers how important it is to keep information secure and private. Thus, a recommended solution to this issue is to recap the -privacy section...

...Working with students in an academic setting regardless of if they are in elementary, middle, or high school is going to come with a slew of ethical and legal standards to consider. As school counselors we are working with minors, so in some circumstances it is important to tread lightly, and in others it’s necessary to know proper protocols and courses of action. The amount of ethical and legal knowledge within a school setting to maintain can be intimidating, and some aspect of these standards will be applied on a regular basis. Continuing to seek and maintain knowledge on appropriate criterions when working with students will help counselors protect both students and themselves. In high school students are at a higher cognitive level at this point, but disabilities still need to be taken into consideration when considering higher education and career choices. Ethical standards are in...
