After completion of my M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction with teacher certification I plan to climb the ladder and prepare to become a principal. I was able to interview my Assistant Principal, Delain Sandifer where she was able to give me as much insight and details on the legal and ethical principles dealing with her job.]]> 2018-10-28 23:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bdavis581/uj61ktc14u39/wish/297827804 bdavis581 https://padlet.com/bdavis581/uj61ktc14u39/wish/297829689 I wanted to learn more about the overall legal and ethical issues that administrators are faced with on the job. These topics in particular interest me because with the rise of teachers striking for more pay due to the amount of work they put in daily with their students, I wanted to know what protocols an administrator had challenges with in dealing with their employees. I also sought interest in students who require accommodations and how administrators managed to handle them and what steps they needed to make to ensure that these accommodations were made.
This interview was intended to gain the information and knowledge I needed to further delve in deeper into  only a couple of the many legal and ethical issues school administrators deal with and what their protocols are in dealing with them. After doing this interview I was able to gain knowledge that allowed me to get a little insight in the position I hope to one day obtain.]]> 2018-10-29 00:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bdavis581/uj61ktc14u39/wish/297829689 bdavis581 https://padlet.com/bdavis581/uj61ktc14u39/wish/297832700 After interviewing Mrs. Sandifer I was able to get a little more insight on the legal and ethical principles that she is involved with in her role as Assistant Principal.

#1: Can you tell me about any current legal issues that are impacting your work?
