Instructions: Read each scenario and choose the most ethical response. Then briefly explain your reasoning.

Context:
A parent approaches you asking for details about another student’s behavior, claiming it affects their own child’s learning. You’re aware of the situation but also know it involves sensitive information.

Ethical Challenge:
Do you:

• A) Share general information to ease the parent’s concern?

• B) Politely decline and explain confidentiality rules?

• C) Redirect the parent to the school counselor or administrator?

Reflection

• How do you balance transparency with confidentiality?

• What would be the most ethical and professional response?

Context:
You’re teaching a class where one student, who is the child of a school administrator, consistently underperforms. Near the end of the term, the administrator casually mentions hoping their child will pass to avoid embarrassment.

Ethical Challenge:
Do you:

• A) Adjust the student’s grade slightly to avoid conflict?

• B) Stick strictly to the grading rubric, even if it means the student fails?

• C) Offer the student extra credit opportunities not available to others?

Reflection:

• What ethical principles are at stake here?

• How would you ensure fairness while maintaining professionalism?
