This is the only computerized ethics course in the United States developed to improve an educator’s understanding of his or her violation potential and to construct a personalized protection plan to guide an educator’s moral compass.

Course Goal
The goal of the course is to reduce the occurrence of ethical and boundary transgressions committed by educators.

Course Objectives
Participants shall…

• Acquire a working understanding of the Boundary/Ethics Formula™ in order to reduce their own violation potential for ethical, boundary, and policy transgressions.
• Improve ethical decision making.
• Develop and implement a Stratified Ethics Protection Plan™ to safeguard their students, colleagues, school, profession, and themselves.

Target Audience
This course is intended for educators and administrators who have not violated or have not been accused of a breach of ethics, boundaries, law, or policy.

Educators currently dealing with administrative or disciplinary action for an accusation and/or violation, or preparing for regulatory hearings as a result of such actions, require the specialized course, Professional Boundaries, Ethics, and Professionalism for Educators: A Course for Teachers Facing Administrative and Disciplinary Action.

Course Format
"Maintaining Ethics and Professional Boundaries in Our Schools" is an interactive educational algorithm adapted from the live national programs currently produced by Professional Boundaries, Inc., and condensed into relatively brief, autonomous, online experiences. These courses are based on a conceptual teaching model (The Boundary/Ethics Formula™) that looks at the relationship of multiple variables that impact ethical decision processing. An algorithm, developed by a student at Princeton University, mathematically converts your selection of elements in the Formula into a general numeric range. This will help you determine your potential for violations, which will then enable you the opportunity to take pro-active steps for reducing this potential. At the conclusion, you will be asked to complete the course evaluation and a short post-test. The University of Wisconsin - Platteville will issue your Certificate of Completion.
