Pa Educators: Your Ethical Codes & School Law: Class 8
We train you (zoom or in person) and enpower you to train your staff in Professional Ethics:
As the SSL/Professional Learning Committee facilitator, I found the meetings that we held to be quite productive. I was able to translate my own learning from the ethics class and deliver that content to my colleagues. The group was engaged. In some ways, I was energized and encouraged by how interested my colleagues were. At this point, I am confident that each participant can speak to the content of the MCEE and the PA Code of Conduct...."
"At the conclusion of our PLC meetings, it was shared with me that perhaps the full staff would benefit from a version of this training – at least for exposure to the key documents. I was happy to hear that participants felt like other members of their departments would benefit – this demonstrates the importance of the content and the success of the PLC."
