An Ethical Dilemma


Most of us know the difference between right and wrong.  


Sometimes things fall into an area that causes an ethical dilemma.  

Teachers are called upon to make ethical decisions on a daily basis.  Your blog this week will be about an ethical dilemma that requires you to use critical thinking skills.  Click here to read the ethical dilemma you will be blogging about.  Read all the way through the document before you begin blogging.  This ethical dilemma is one that will be used to qualify for the FEA National conference in Orlando, FL in April.  See how well you do and maybe you will be selected to participate and debate on the National level.  

This blog will be due on October 1, 2012.  It is important that you use good grammar, spelling, punctuation and good writing conventions.  The blog rubric is available by clicking here.  Always refer to the rubric for the best possible score you can get.  Use concise thoughts in your writing.

When I grow up I want to be a ...


Have you ever said the words, "When I grow up I want to be a teacher"?
If you have, you are in the right class. If you are just wanting to see if education as a profession might be something you want to pursue, you are also in the right class. If you are one of those that thought this would be an easy blow off class, you probably made a big mistake.

Your blog assignment this week is to give me your reasons for wanting to be a teacher. You must spell correctly, use proper grammar, use correct punctuations and capitalizations and no little i's. You will be using your "new" blog.

Your blog will be graded according to the Blog Rubric that you were shown in class. Try! You will get better as the year progresses. The Blog Rubric for this week is on my class wiki page. You can open the class wiki by clicking here.
