An understanding of legal and ethical issues that impact the lives and interests of learners is critical to those who work in all types of educational settings. In this course, education professionals examine issues surrounding state and national educational policy; constitutional issues concerning equal opportunity, privacy, and access; and the legal requirements of working with children and adults from different backgrounds. Through activities and discussions, education professionals practice ethical decision making and consider their own beliefs and biases about ethical issues in education.
