Politics and the Ethical Educator

Politics and the Ethical Educator
Even the most casual observer of the current political scene realizes that we are living in a highly partisan era. The fraught nature of political discourse poses particular risks for educators, who are expected to be role models in their school community. An unwise or intemperate comment on social media (all too easy to do!) can derail an otherwise successful career. This webinar explains the risks, discusses the applicability of the Model Code of Ethics for Educators, and offers some practical suggestions for getting through the 2020 election unscathed. This recording is part of a webcast series of the National Council for the Advancement of Educator Ethics (NCAEE).

Focusing on Ethics: Smartphones in the Classroom

The National Council for the Advancement of Educator Ethics and the NASDTEC Professional Education Committee presents the latest in its series of webinars on the ethical issues facing educators inside (and outside) the classroom. Nationally-recognized technology and privacy expert Frederick Lane ("Cybertraps for Educators," "American Privacy") offers a detailed and informative presentation focusing on the ethical challenges posed by one of today's most popular technologies: the smartphone. These powerful and sophisticated devices have invaded nearly every aspect of modern life. In the process, they have changed contemporary pedagogy, altered the power dynamic in the classroom, and have dramatically increased the potential for oversharing (both intentional and unintentional) by educators. Although many of the ethical dilemmas discussed by Lane arise out of Principal V of the Model Code of Ethics for Educators ("Responsible and Ethical Use of Technology"), Lane carefully highlights how ethical standards throughout the MCEE are relevant to how and when educators use their phones.
Frederick Lane is an author, attorney, educational consultant, and lecturer based in East Hampton, NY. He is a nationally-recognized expert in the areas of cybersafety, digital misconduct, personal privacy, and other topics at the intersection of law, technology, and society. Lane has appeared on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the BBC, and MSNBC. He has written nine books, including most recently Cybertraps for Educators ( https://amzn.to/2De83VY ) and Cybertraps for Expecting Moms & Dad ( https://amzn.to/2Q8XEOg ). He is currently working on his newest book, The Rise of the Digital Mob (Beacon Press 2020). All of his books are available on Amazon.com or through his Web site, FrederickLane.com.

Blurred Lines: Protecting Educators from Social Media Mishaps

The National Council for the Advancement of Educator Ethics (NCAEE) presents an insightful conversation among practitioners regarding the intersection of social media and the education profession.
A panel of educators, attorneys and a social media expert have an unscripted discussion related to the blurred boundaries between professional and private use of social media, the expectations that are often placed upon educators regarding its use, and the prevalence of cases that result in licensure sanctions. In addition, the discussion illustrates how the Model Code of Ethics for Educators has become a valuable tool in promoting professional discussions and guidelines around the use of technology, social media and other forms of communication.
Join panelists Callie Marksbary, Mary Harris, Nancy Pugliese, Lori Kelly and Frederick Lane, as well as moderator Troy Hutchings, as they discuss the many nuances of this relevant topic.
