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.
5. Professional Advocacy within Institutional Constraints
Educators
are not only rule-followers—they are also agents of change. Advocacy includes: ·
Calling for more inclusive policies. ·
Challenging harmful
practices. ·
Participating in reform
committees. However,
institutional culture may resist change. Teachers must remain ethical while
navigating bureaucratic limits. 🗣️ Ethical
leadership begins at the classroom level and expands through professional
dialogue and collaboration.
