Unit 10: Institutional Ethics and Navigating Educational Systems

6. Ethical Dimensions of Educational Policy Implementation

Policy affects everything—from curriculum to grading practices. Teachers often serve as policy implementers but also as policy critics.
Ethical concerns in policy:
·       Lack of clarity or consistency.
·       Top-down mandates ignoring student diversity.
·       Testing practices that harm learning.
🌍 Key point: Ethical educators critically examine how policies affect different student populations and strive for equitable implementation.
