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.
