CULLOWHEE—North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, a national leader in professional development for teachers, in cooperation with the North Carolina Bar Association Foundation, will present a program Sept. 19-21 to explore the ethical responsibilities and rights of educators in North Carolina.
The NCCAT program will examine law that supports and protects students and teachers, and will explore avenues for avoiding and managing conflict between teachers, parents, students, administrators and school staff.
“This is an excellent opportunity for teacher leaders and district- and school-level leaders to spend time with leading education law practitioners in the state,” said NCCAT Director of
Programming Jonathan Wade.
Topics may include: liability issues; free speech issues; employee law; religious issues; cyberlaw; student records issues; ethics programs; anti-bullying initiatives; conflict
resolution strategies and other issues.
Administrators are welcome and encouraged to apply and to bring a team from their school(s).
“We hope educators will join us as we work together to foster a safer school environment,” Wade said.
