Original content: dense and prescriptive • Theme 4: School boards • School boards employ teachers. As an employer school boards also have expectations for teacher's professionalism and ethics. In addition to obligations under their employment contract teachers have professional legal duties under the Education Act that they must comply with in the course of their employment. We took these up in the first module on the duties of teachers. Most importantly teachers are expected to teach, supervise, and demonstrate respect towards students and comply with all their duties outline in s. 264 and s. 20 of the Education Act and Regulations. • The general rule is that a teacher must be a good ‘role model’ and conduct themselves in loco parentis towards the students. • But what constitutes appropriate conduct for teachers? Should your employer be able to dictate how you conduct yourself in your private life? Is conduct outside the classroom also reviewable. This is controversial and contested but currently the law says 'yes' it is. • The “Role model principle” governs teacher's behavior inside and outside the classroom. There is a debate as to what this means in terms of conduct outside classroom. In general any immoral or unprofessional behaviour that is detrimental to the student’s learning environment violates the role model principle. But there must be a causal link between behavior outside classroom and classroom performance (i.e. the behaviour must undermine the teacher’s fitness, competence, or credibility to teach etc )
Stripped down, malleable content… • Lesson#4:School boards • Page 1 • As employers, school boards also have guidelines for teachers’ professional and ethical behaviour. School boards’ general rule is that teachers must conduct themselves in loco parentis– as reasonably careful and prudent parents - towards students. • Page 2 • Currently, the law holds that teachers must act as ‘role models’ outside of the classroom, in their private lives, as well as in the classroom – although there is much debate as to what this means. • If teachers are to be reprimanded for immoral or unprofessional conduct outside the classroom, there must be a causal link between this conduct and any detrimental effect on their fitness, competency, or credibility inside the classroom.
