Summary:	"Teachers Behaving Badly? is concerned with behaviour that may occur between adults working in and connected to the school, and teacher-older pupil relations that have been initiated by both parties. Leaders faced with trying to sort out these issues find that they are not always clear-cut; often there are no easy resolutions and the consequences may be potentially explosive for the individuals concerned, for the school and for the community." "With authors from the General Teaching Council, the National Union of Teachers and the University of Edinburgh, this book will help you think about how values change over time and make decisions arising from the sexual behaviour of your staff. Real-life scenarios and case studies are included throughout the book, and advice is offered on preparing for critical incidents and continuing professional development. This book raises the dilemmas and outlines the employment and criminal law in jargon-free language."--Jacket.

Description
Summary:	Behaviour that involves an abuse of a teacher's position of trust or a breach of the standards of propriety is regarded as misconduct and may lead to a teacher being barred from the teaching profession. This book offers the school leader advice on making decisions arising from misconduct or alleged misconduct of their staff. It addresses issues such as: how to deal with an allegation of a teacher's sexual misconduct how to judge when a relationship between a pupil and teacher becomes abusive how to decide what to do about drug abuse how to support an 'outed' gay or lesbian teacher how to decide when private matters become public ones how to deal with the media. Often there are no clear-cut answers, or easy solutions, but this book will raise the dilemmas and explain the employment and criminal law in jargon-free language. School leaders have to make important decisions about such incidents, considering their responsibility to their staff, to the local community, and to their pupils. Leadership training rarely includes exposure to these issues, but most people working in schools may have to face them at some point in their career. Teachers Behaving Badly draws on real cases and explores the dilemmas faced, offering practical and legal advice to help school leaders prepare for such critical incidents.
