@Timberteach We are always held to higher standards, much like student athletes and or professional athletes are too. When you serve public that’s what you are held to. We are in the public eye. #EDLD567
U11 #1. Implications in this case are a lack of awareness on ethical moral behavior on personal time. PD needs to remind researchers and staff of behavior outside the school and the dangers of misbehavior or conduct. Educators are role models every minute, every day. #EDLD567
U11#1 It is possible for educators to balance beliefs and morals. Any time you stand for betterment of humans you can’t go wrong. But demeaning negative language and action is against our ethical code as educators. #EDLD567
@Timberteach I agree with you. That’s what I say to my classes every year. However, the hard part is managing the emotions and reality that goes behind that. Easier said than done. Takes much practice and patience. #edld567
The mold was a smokescreen for the pressures the community was feeling with raised performance expectations and lack of communication. There were changes made to the school when Smith came on and those changes created stress for community members and their children. #EDLD567
Both court cases could be applicable depending how the group presents itself at the assembly. Sid should connivance w upper admin before deciding. Be transparent. “Cross you Ts and dot your Is” be cause this is a Slippery slope here. #EDLD567
@mcgill678ms I agree. Stall. No need to be pressured into decision at that moment. It’s good to take time to communicate with your network and to formulate a justified/supported response.
It also shows she’s coachable. People can be willing to learn but can they then turn that into action? She did. You can’t possibly let her go mid year. See how the year goes. Have dialogue, foster reflection. That will create an opportunity for her to see herself. #EDLD567

@Grizgirl81 Yes. It’s the best interest of the school, department etc to have someone like the dept chair to take this role. It’s a team mentality. It will foster collaboration, communication and growth. #EDLD567
New teacher mentor program. These mentorships are so valuable to transitioning new teachers into a new school. It helps in gaining understanding if culture in school and community. They also provide a person to turn to for advice/guidance. #EDLD567
@mclawson33@lacey_nevins Yes I agree the could’ve better informed her. However, she could’ve explored the community, read about, asked questions too. It does go both ways. Communication on parts. #EDLD567
@mcgill678ms @SabrinaBeed Yes! PLCs or cozy communities (just learned that one). These help w planning, communication, developing sense of belonging , all which contribute to more effective engagement. #EDLD567
@mclawson33@hayleyjdonovan Yes, out dated policy which led the principal to be unaware resulting in the situation. Communication is at the heart of this problem. The police have one set of rules/laws while the school functions on another creating disconnect and misinformed persons on all sides #EDLD567
