Unit 10: Institutional Ethics and Navigating Educational Systems
Conditions d’achèvement
Unit
10 examines the ethical complexities educators face when operating within
institutional systems. It explores the tensions between upholding institutional
rules and fulfilling moral obligations to students and society. Topics include
whistleblowing, navigating competing ethical demands, and advocating for change
within bureaucratic constraints. Through real-world examples and critical
analysis, this unit prepares future educators to engage with institutions
ethically, courageously, and constructively.
2. Ethical Obligations to Institutions vs. Students
Educators hold dual commitments: ·
To students: ensuring fairness, promoting learning,
protecting well-being. ·
To institutions: following rules, maintaining
reputation, implementing policies. Conflicts
arise when institutional demands contradict what is best for learners. 🧭 Ethical question: If an institutional
policy disadvantages a group of students, do you follow it or resist?
