PIL Class 6: PA Educators: Your Ethical Codes & School Law
"At first when the teachers in the PLC started to read and discuss the PA Code of Professional Practice & Conduct for Educators (PA Code of Conduct) and the Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE), they were very similar in their thoughts of this being silly or like 'No Duh'.
But as I began to lay out a few of the scenarios from (PIL) class, there began a 360 degrees role reversal in their thought process. I thought at first they were timid to speak upon these issues in front of me, and later I knew I was a little right. I had to leave early to meet with a parent. When I met back up with the group, they were elated and even recruited another teacher. "
