员工行为准则-与学生的互动

Head-Royce School encourages a close, warm, 学生与老师和员工之间的体贴关系. 4001百老汇会员登录的员工在学习和生活中都是学生的榜样、向导和导师. The purpose of these guidelines is to give clear direction regarding appropriate conduct and boundaries between employees and students. The expectations for conduct set forth in this document are not intended to serve as an exhaustive list of requirements, limitations, 或学校制定的禁止员工行为和活动的规定. Rather, they are intended to:

  • Alert employees to some of the more sensitive and often problematic matters involved in faculty/staff-student relationships;
  • Specify boundaries related to the educator/student relationship and conduct that is contrary to accepted norms of behavior and in conflict with duties and responsibilities of
  • professional educators; and
  • Provide employees with clear guidance in conducting themselves in a manner that reflects high standards of professionalism.


It is important for the School to maintain a School-wide culture in which students and employees understand their responsibility to report misconduct without fearing retaliation. In order to prevent abuse and/or exploitation, students and the professional community must know that the Administration will support them when they report possible misconduct. 虽然这项政策对员工和学生之间的适当行为给出了明确的指导, each employee is obligated to avoid situations that could prompt suspicion by other members of the School community. One helpful standard that can be quickly applied when assessing whether your conduct is appropriate is to ask yourself, “如果学生的家人或我的同事或家人站在我旁边,我会这么做吗?”.

如果员工遇到与界限有关的困难情况, 员工应该向主管征求意见, Division Head or the Head of School.

 

Guidelines for Maintaining Boundaries
