This
course consists examines both the legal and ethical
guidelines that define professional conduct for New
Brunswick teachers. |
|
Law:
The legal documents that govern our actions are - the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child; the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights
and Freedoms; the Child Victims of Abuse and Neglect,
and the New Brunswick Education Act, its regulations and
its policies. We will examine two of these policies: 701
- The Pupil Protection Policy 703 - The Positive Learning
Environment Policy. |
Ethics: As
a professional, you are expected to abide by the Code of
Professional Conduct of the New Brunswick Teachers
Association. Because of the importance of maintaining
proper behaviour of teachers the professional conduct of
teachers is monitored through two separate but related
processes. Some aspects of unprofessional conduct are
dealt with solely through the ethics system of the NBTA.
Other actions are dealt with both through the
professional ethics system and by the courts. |
