Sexual Misconduct: Staff-to-Student
This course explores the definition of sexual misconduct, legal obligations, signs of sexual misconduct, and how to create clear professional boundaries.
Course Description
While the vast number of school staff members are competent, capable and caring professionals, sexual misconduct by staff members involving students unfortunately does happen. Sexual misconduct has a profound and lasting impact on the student, school, community and staff member as well.
In this course, you’ll learn about the obligation of every staff member to provide an appropriate level of care for all students. Specifically, this course will explore the definition of sexual misconduct, the legal obligations of school staff members, signs of sexual misconduct by staff members, and how to create clear professional boundaries that protect you as well as students.
