Before recommending a dismissal for Alice's performance, she must undergo procedural and substantive due process. "The burden of proof resides with the board of education to show cause based on a preponderance of evidence" (Essex, 2012, p. 254), and in this case the only problem is her changing a grade for an athlete, which is not a reason for dismissal. "Teachers may be dismissed only for specified reasons that are based on objective and documentable evidence" (Essex, 2012, p.

The main area of concern is the notification of violation of expectation, policy, and procedures of the school. With me being the new principal I would make sure that is address in the teacher’s handbook. Once that has been cleared I would check Mr. Flynn’s time sheet for verification to make sure this is not a hear say issue. After I have background knowledge of the issue I and Mr. Flynn’s appraiser will meet with Mr. Flynn to discuss this concern. This meeting will be between just us and the details of the meeting will stay between us and Mr. Flynn’s file. There is no need to go back and discuss this concern with anyone else. The corrected action should speak louder than words. After the conference Mr. Flynn can choose to react in a positive or negative way. A positive consequence that could come out of this is that there could be a new

The school’s rules were provided in student handbooks that were given to every student at the beginning of the year, and the rules are also posted in each of the classrooms on campus. The parents and student received detailed oral and written notice of the charges against the student, which provided information about the incident and evidence the administrator discovered. Since this student’s action presented an immediate danger the administrator was able to immediately remove the student from school without advance notice to the parents, however, the parents were told of the incident in a timely

All students are held to the same standards and are responsible for their actions I can expect to be treated with the same respect and honesty I give others. Because the standards are the same for all students any dishonest or immoral activity committed by another student witnessed must to be reported to the faculty of the IU Kelley School of Business as it is my duty to ensure the integrity of the school when accepting the Kelley Honor Code. Reporting these actions would be an obligation and failing to report these actions would be a violation of the code of

Rules governing academic integrity among students and schools is a practice deeply entrenched in the American education system and that of those around the world. Likely beginning at the University of Virginia in the United States during 1842 as a way to discourage cheating, dishonesty, and plagiarism, it soon spread throughout the nation. Today, the overwhelming majority of schools in the US, from elementary to collegiate, have their own form of a honor code. Among these schools is Port Charlotte High School, PCHS abbreviated, whose own code of conduct is based heavily on students being educated about the effects that their cheating will have on their academic future and punishing those who are discovered to have cheated in any form. So far, these particular academic regulations have proven successful and because of this, the charge put forward by the school should continue to be maintained. Revising the Code of Conduct into a peer-enforced system creates is statistically inefficient, hostilities between students, and eliminating the honor code would easily produce a school where cheating reigns free.

However, the principal did not listen to her staff or the partners. Against our wishes, she added advisory classes to the spring semester. The

Based on the information provided in the case study, which leaves a great amount of room for guessing due to only having a few facts and vague references to the actual incident; Mr. Chaddock should have calmly emptied his classroom of the other students. He should have notified the office of the situation and kept the student Robert T. within his room until the principal arrived to handle the situation.

As a professional he did what was right, even though he felt weird as he stated “I gave Ms. L. the F and slept poorly that night. Some of the failing grades I issue gnaw at me more than others”. As a professor of college students Professor X displayed logos by doing the right thing by giving Ms. L the grade she deserved an “F” after all it would not be fair to the other students if he passed her and not the others based on her assignment she turned in. He tried to work with her on several occasions but that still didn’t help. His narrative of Ms. L was a true statement of how sometimes the truth really hurts

On the other hand, I understand that the student was wrong for behaving in such a manner and the school has to have this process in place. But , what are we doing

In a travesty such as this, it goes further than the school board’s foolhardy decision and into the mindset of high school students. Ever since these students were very young, they have been told for every action there is a consequence. Nevertheless, the students of Piper Kansas committed these acts knowing very well what the consequences were. In such a circumstance offering a band-aid solution such as this greatly impedes moral decay. Only fundamental change equivalent to major surgery can improve the morals of these students, a change that could possibly

As human beings, we are often presented with dilemmas that make us question our integrity and moral turpitude. School administrators, in particular, engage in multiple decision-making processes on a daily basis, as they are responsible for developing and maintaining a safe teaching and learning environment on their campus. In fact, Weaver (2007) adds that many school administrators make their decisions based on equity, fairness, and student achievement. After analyzing the case of Richard Inman, the junior high school assistant principal, it became evident that he made the decision not to complete the expulsion paper based on his personal code of ethics. That is, he made his decision based on his values, goals, and beliefs regarding the success of every student in his school. Moreover, because he was raised in the same neighborhood as his students, he felt he could identify with their struggles and therefore made a personal agenda to cultivate a relationship with the students

"Recognizing that ethical caring requires an effort that is not needed in natural caring does not commit us to a position that elevates ethical caring over natural caring...But an ethic built on caring strives to maintain the caring attitude and is thus dependent upon, and not superior to, natural caring." (Page 426) Based off this Nel Noddings quote on ethical caring, she would respond to the student’s academic negligence in the manor of the following. Given that the student has been having varied troubles in his personal life she would state that punishment is necessary however it should revolve around caring about his problem versus disregarding his personal troubles within his life. She would likely suggest that though it is important to penalize someone for the given situation, it is also very important to keep his or her feelings in your mind. If noddings were the teacher she would never forget the possibilities. By this I am referring to never disregarding the feelings of others and that he could have quite possibly 'forgotten or unknowingly

The impact of the crash I felt driving to school one morning was not to the car, but to my world. Or so it seemed at that moment, upon hearing the news of my brother’s Student Handbook infraction. What followed was a tale of a divorce of sorts between my two guardians - my school and my parents. I am told my support for my brother and seeing that the truth be revealed contributed to the resolution. The education I gained is one which tuition dollars were not meant to provide. The greatest triumphs are not the courtroom justice, nor the acknowledgement of wrongdoing suggested by the departures of many administrators, but the strength of the support my brother and I enjoy. His personal and academic successes are testament to that. My outward support of him and my objection to the injustice I perceived was demonstrated by walking into school every day. Inwardly and

3 Sally, the academic counselor - bares no responsibility for a student’s choice to ignore her advise and cheat.

According to The International Centre for Academic Integrity honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage are the six fundamental values of academic integrity. From Erica’s viewpoint of the situation highlighted
