ED 828 - Legal Issues & Ethics

(3)

Legal Issues and Ethics is a survey of the legal basis for education; rights and responsibilities of teachers and students, and due process actions for each. This course will enable teachers to become better informed of both the legal issues which can naturally occur as they are interacting with students, peers, and administrators as well as the consequences resulting from these interactions if they are violated. Teachers will develop a sense of awareness that actions have consequences and that constitutional rights are afforded to students as well as themselves.
