COURSE DESCRIPTION In their daily practice, teachers constantly find themselves confronted with ethical dilemmas and tensions that derive from the complexity of the society in which they work and the many relationships they have to navigate. There are instances when their responsibility toward their students comes into conflict with the demands of the institutional realm of the school or their relationship with colleagues and parents. The professional standards that educators in British Columbia are expected to meet include many ethical concepts, such as " care, " " trust, " " honesty " and " integrity. " However, what does a " caring relationship " look like, and how can educators balance the demands of formal standards with the demands of care? What kind of ethical dilemmas do educators face, and based on what grounds do they make decisions in such situations? In this course students will be encouraged to share and analyze ethical dilemmas that arise in the teaching profession and examine their own ethical values, where these values come from, and how to reconcile these values with professional demands in concrete situations. This course encourages students to reflect on how they see their own role as moral agents. COURSE OBJECTIVES This course prepares students to: • recognize how school and teachers reflect moral values; • appreciate that ethical questions arise continuously in the practice of teaching and be equipped to tackle them;
The professional standards that educators in British Columbia are expected to meet include many ethical concepts, such as “care,” “trust,” “honesty” and “integrity.” However, what does a “caring relationship” look like, and how can educators balance the demands of fairness with the demands of care? What other ethical dilemmas do educators face, and based on what ethical principles or other grounds do they make decisions in such situations? This course explores the “codes of ethics” prescribed by professional organizations, then moves beyond these codes to consider ethics as ethos or disposition. Students will be asked to examine their moral values, where these values come from, and how they reconcile these values with professional demands in concrete situations. Through this examination students will gain insight into what they, as teachers, stand for and how they conceive of their role as agents of change.

Code of Ethics for Teachers: A Dilemma
2020
Teacher training courses have been prioritizing the cognitive domain at the expense of the affective domain with a strong ethical component characteristic of the academic routine. Ethical dilemmas faced in the teaching practice inspired us to bring an overview of aspects addressed by the literature and some codes of ethics for teachers. Adopting these codes or not is a controversial issue. This text aims to bring up this controversy as a contribution to the professionalization of educators, so that they are able to anticipate ethical dilemmas situation at school, in its complexity and contradiction, giving them a better forwarding. Thus, it is expected that future teachers will be prepared to face these situations in students, colleagues and institutions relationship. An analysis of the dilemmas that there are at school can result in more fair decisions which also consider, besides to academic and institutional perspectives, the human aspects. Our proposal is that this discussion sh...
