How can you avoid presenting a negative model? 

 

One way that I can avoid presenting a negative model to my students is to treat everyone the same.  I need to make sure I do not play favorites to one student over another.  I also need to find a way t relate to my students in a positive manner.  It is important that I have a good attitude when entering the classroom.  I need to be honest with my students and if I make promises it is important that I keep them in order to earn their trust.  i will also make sure that I am prepared for teaching each and every day so that my students see how much I take teaching seriously.

 

How will you make sure you are making ethical decisions in preparing and conducting courses?

 

One way I can make sure that I am making ethical decisions is to treat all of my students in the same way.  If one students asks for a chance to retake a test or quiz and I allow it, then I need to make sure that option is available to everyone and not just that one student.  It is important that my students see that i do not treat some students differently than others.  I will also make sure that I never accept bribes in order to provide a student with a good grade.    

 

What strategies will you use to avoid unethical behavior toward students?

 

I will treat each and every student with respect.  I will not engage in favoritism with any of my students.  I will listen to what my students have to tell me, and keep that information confidential.  If I see a student who is cheating I will address it with the student right away so my students understand that this is something that will not be tolerated.  I will provide my students with a syllabus that outlines rules and expectations of the course.  I will also make sure to address any kind of harassment or discrimination issues in my classroom right away in order to provide a safe and respectful classroom.
