The last course in the series will be devoted to a vital discussion of the importance on a career (and impact to others) of one’s behaviors immediately and over time. Specific Florida Statutes and School Board Policies related to ethical and professional behavior will be addressed.

Activities will include case studies in which teachers have violated one or more of the Code of Ethics or the Professional Conduct for the Education Profession, as well as appropriate ramifications for those actions.

A portion of the course will be devoted to a review of competencies covered throughout the series of courses. A culminating reflection activity included in the Participant’s Journal will be submitted to the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources for final review prior to submission of the candidates’ names for certification in School Principal.

Reflection Logs and Key Terms will be completed following the Reflection Journal and Key Term Guide sheets distributed to participants. Participants keep these information sheets in their own portfolios to be used for future reference. The administrator of this program may elect to review such portfolios at will or at particular junctures in the program.
