Knowing Where to Draw the Line: Ethical and Legal Standards for Best Classroom Practice by Mary Ann Manos

From the Publisher

Many teachers in public schools are increasingly unsure about what the law expects of them in the classroom. The general public and government regulators hold them to higher and stricter standards of conduct, yet their educational preparation has not kept up with the changing environment. Knowing Where to Draw the Line: Ethical and Legal Standards for Best Classroom Practice is an ideal guide for teacher education programs, offering comprehensive information to equip teachers for legal survival in the classroom.

Organized for both easy reference and thorough examination, this book instructs teachers how to deal with students, parents, administrators, and local communities, covering an exhaustive list of legal issues, including sexual harassment, discipline, contract negotiations, liability, and medical concerns. It also highlights a number of court cases and uses hypothetical cases to further aid teachers in understanding these vital concerns.
