Effective communication is key to developing and then maintaining relationships at all levels of teaching because the pupils have to be able to understand the messages that are being conveyed.

A new superintendent in an urban school district believes educators are trained to run schools and should do so with the least amount of interference possible. For this reason, an ethical crisis arises when the district decides whether or not to close a local high school. While public relations officers want district administration to be as transparent as possible to remain honest and open, the superintendent and other schoolboard members want to hold meetings with no media present. This facts of this case will become clear through explication.

Her statement had spread throughout the school; all her co-workers had adverse reactions thinking that her ability of being a teacher would interfere due to her racial comment. Her principal decided that it would be better to have her dismissed.

Furthermore, when principals are called to give reference information, that information should be concrete and in specific regard to the position. Principal O’Rourke did not avoid subjective statements. For instance, when he spoke with Randolph’s cousin, he stated that “he was incompetent,” (p. 129); which consequently, was used against the principal in his complaint to the State Commissioner of Education as the reason he could not obtain employment. If Principal O’Rourke decided to share negative, yet factual, information, he must have proof. As an example, he could have deemed him an ineffective teacher that was on a Corrective Action Plan, if that were true.

A typical day in Julie Smith MC 201 class starts of with her playing music. Once her class starts it’s nothing but and excitement. She is a very loud and energetic person. She is not afraid to get all in your face as she is walking around the class teaching you for the topic of the day. She also has a lot of games she uses to keep people engaged in the topics to she is talking about. “ I love coming to Julie class because you never know what to expect from her. One day you might get class where you’re using your phone and the next day she’s handing out candy. I love coming to her class not knowing what to expect.” Said Ciara Bazile. Julie just didn’t wake up one day and say hey I’m going to be teacher like most people as she likes to put it, “ just happened by accident.” One of her old professors called her one night and asked her if she was still teaching at Webster and asked her if she wanted to teach an intro class, she immediately jumped at it. Her favorite part about teaching is “having students contact me after the semester to tell me about examples they 've seen - which shows that what we 've talked about in 201 has stayed with them. I love getting to know them and know their stories. College students are much smarter than people give them credit for.” Julie has been teaching since 1998 so she has no shame when it comes to teaching is not afraid to make a fool of her self when it comes to teaching. “I remember Julie teaching us about television and radio. She

Indeed, as with previous iterations of guidance, the legal policies of investigative practice can be difficult to implement outside of the formal judicial system: a lack of proper evidentiary handling and a fundamental misunderstanding of the process whereby facts are determined can prove impediments to a fair and impartial investigation. Moreover, the hearing process itself and the limitations imposed on the ability of both the Complainant and the Respondent to directly question and cross-examine one another make it difficult for an institution to adhere to the fundamental due process rights implied in the Letter under certain conditions: “Public and state-supported schools must provide due process to the alleged perpetrator.” Herein, another difficulty arises with respect to the ambiguity

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

The counselor had a serious colloquy with the students’ parents regarding his discrimination, harassment and bullying with other students.

Mr. Jones acted as an ineffective leader. As a matter of fact, neither he demonstrated his leadership skills when he reacted before he was prepared to do so. First, he disobeyed a mandate from his supervisor when he disclosed the information given to him, on an apparent violation of the Code of Ethics of the Education Profession in Florida, Rule 6B-1.001 (2): “…The educator will therefore strive for professional growth and will seek to exercise the best professional judgment and integrity”. He shredded his integrity, when he failed to show loyalty to his supervisor. Furthermore, principal Jones seems to be new as an administrator. Even when the authors only described him as in his first year of principal in the neighborhood school, they do not provide any more information to evidence prior experience as an administrator in other settings.

As a teacher, this activity has made me aware of the duties that principals carry out on a regular basis, in addition to the value they place on disciplining students that are referred to the front office.

After filing grievance against the director’s decision to not take pt for paying electrical bill, pt believes that the director continue to retaliate as evidence by pt’s difficulty in talking to the director

I returned the next day pulling the teacher aside and telling her my side of the story. It was for my class’s sake I didn’t want them to write down and learn wrong material. Her response explained that I embarrassed her in front of her students and should have mentioned the mistake after class was done because that would have been more “respectful” then blurting it out and drawing unnecessary attention. I understood I was in the wrong for interrupting her, but at the same time she was in the wrong for not taking the time to check over it when I had pointed it out. Freire implied that solidarity requires true communication, and the concept by which such an educator is guided fears and proscribes communication (322). With an understanding outlook I’ve come to conclude my teacher might fear communicating with her students, some handle confrontation better than others.

There are three teachers in the classroom, one does reading/lesson circle with a small group of students, another does arts and crafts, and one of them circulates throughout the room helping students with their work-plans. The teacher that circulates around the room all the time appears to be the head teacher and when a conflict arises she is the one to mediate it. The way that the teachers speak with the children is as if they are equals, they aren’t talked down to and the students give the teachers complete respect.

The American teacher, true to being an individualist, believed that the only way to deal with the problem was to meet the problem head on. Due to the avoidant nature of the Vietnamese teacher, he became frustrated for the lack of physical resolution. In conflict resolution in individual cultures, there is a goal that has to be attained that leads to outcome satisfaction (Ohbuchi, Fukushima, Tedeschi, 1999). For the American teacher, this goal was to confront the school board and since that was never accomplished the conflict was never resolved for
