Education Middle School
This project is the standards and school law project. For this three page essay, you will compose on standards in school law. For this project you want to address what
a teacher’s legal and ethical responsibilities are in a classroom. As teachers, we are held to very high standards and are expected to act accordingly. You will see
bullying or a classroom conflict as the main focus in this project. So, some things you should think about as responsibilities are creating a safe environment for the
students.
If a bullying conflict arises, what are the steps you should take? For instances, documenting and reporting the incident. What are some anti-bullying programs that
schools feature and in some instances even require? Who are your resources in the school? Other teachers? And certainly the guidance counselor would be people that can
help. Remember, the person being bullied as well as the person acting as a bully may need support. So, you have an opportunity to help all parties involved.
You should also mention in this project how a teacher is expected to be aware of standards-based practices in relation to the four areas listed in the project that you
see here. Those areas are disability law, media, protecting students in general, and protecting them against discrimination. Make sure you address copyright laws or
media laws that teachers need to abide by. Another topic you can address in your response would have to do with the special education laws. For instance, Public Law
94-142 and Public Law 99-457. Think about how they shaped special education and how they directly affect IEPs.
That can be related to school law, and it can be related to protecting students. That brings up another good point. You can discuss how intimately familiar a teacher
has to be with his or her students IEPs.
You don’t have to be a special education teacher to come into contact with special ed students.
All teachers are expected to know the laws governing all students education. You will identify the ways that teachers follow the laws including keeping students safe
physically and emotionally,
using media properly, and following laws regarding discrimination and disabilities. Think about issues such as protection of students, cyber bullying, use of IEPs as
you write your narrative. Cite sources as needed. You can address each prompt individually while some of the responses are very much related
such as legal and ethical responsibilities and protecting students. Others, for example, copyright laws might be a little less related.
