In every school, they will have a set of policies which will put in place in order to set out the procedures and guidelines in order to ensure that equality is within the school. These policies are extremely important within a school as this will allow all staff and students to understand the importance of equality and so that they take into account rights off all different individual and different groups within in the school for example religion. These policies will work to in ensure inclusion and equality and not only cover teaching and learning within a classroom but with all different other needs, such as aspects of school life.…
This is the cornerstone of any teacher/tutors job. The question really answers itself. If a teacher/tutor cannot guarantee that each of their learners are given the same equality whilst respecting diversity then they would fail the learner, themselves and the aims and objectives of any…
When reviewing multiple ethical paradigms, Shapiro and Gross (2013) stated one must understand the definition of ethics. From the Greeks, the word ethos meant “customs” or “usages”, but later the word ethics was defined as meaning “disposition or character, customs, and approved ways of acting” (Shapiro and Gross, 2013). When theorist and educators began to develop models to explain ethics in an educational realm, Sergiovanni sought after moral leadership as a principle of justice in regards to his “virtuous schools” (Shapiro and Gross, 2013). Sergiovanni believed leaders in education to be stewards within the educational system to be just and beneficent, by having a deep concern for the welfare of the school as a community (Shapiro and Gross, 2013). This theory was to extend beyond the school and into the community, by taking in the students, teachers, administrators, and families well-being into account through equality, dignity, and fair play for all (Shapiro and Gross, 2013).…
Each school must produce a range of policies which formally set out the guidelines & procedures for ensuring equality. These must take account of the rights of all individuals & groups within the school. When considering the way policies work to ensure equality & inclusion, we often just think of the teaching & learning that is happening within the classroom. Policies must also pay regard to the values & practice which are part of all aspects of school life.…
Equality means giving all children the best possible opportunities to achieve their potential in the setting. This does not necessarily mean treating all children ‘equally’ or every child achieving ‘the same’. Some will need special, or different, levels of support or challenge. This means planning for effective learning and development for all children - irrespective of disability, heritage, special educational needs, social group, gender, physical or emotional needs, race or culture.…
Equality is ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably specific to their needs. Including areas of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age. Promoting equality should remove discrimination in all of the areas described. Bullying, harassment or victimisation are also considered forms of equality and diversity issues. Also making sure the curriculum meets the needs of each individual as not everyone is the same.…
Someone who was fair to me was my boss at the YMCA. Fairness is giving people the second chances. Fairness is being kind even when the person may not deserve it. Fairness is important because I can’t be kind and forgiving without being fair. Without being kind and forgiving I can’t build healthy relationships. Fairness is something that I have been lucky enough to experience as a life guard. Being given so many opportunities to experience and learn about airiness has helped me become a kinder person. For example when I was in the process of becoming a life guard at the Sumner YMCA in Sumner, WA. I was shown how to be fair. I was having a rough time with the oxygen section of the lifeguard test. However since I did really well…
Susan Wallace states that equality in this context “....requires us, as teachers, to ensure that we show no favouritism or antipathy towards any learner and that we are entirely non-partisan in our dealings with them. Whether they are keen and motivated or bored and disengaged; or whether they are friendly and sociable or morose and threatening, they are nevertheless equal and should be treated equally.” (2007, p 46)…
Equality involves the fair and consistent treatment of learners, whilst ensuring equality of opportunity in participating in learning.…
In the video Richard says to treat children as you would an adult. He says that fairness means that everyone gets what t each student’s needs not that everyone gets the same. He states that teacher’s should not try to make it up to others students when re working the curriculum for another student. Fairness can be a hard topic for teachers to think about. Teachers are always trying to make fairness a big thing in the classroom from the amount of time each student gets on an assignment to the amount of time spent…

Research the Equality Act (2010). Equality specifically relates to the law and the rights of students to be given equal opportunities to access learning and assessment opportunities. The Human Rights Act specifically prohibits discrimination. Diversity relates to embracing and celebrating the cultural, racial, religious, etc. differencesyour students possess. As a teacher, you should know the difference between direct and indirect discrimination and know when you can unintentionally cause offense to learners. How would you challenge behaviour which undermines equality and diversity in the classroom?…

Equality can be promoted through inclusion of everyone, with all learners treated as individuals and all their efforts valued. Petty (2009) states, that learners expect to be treated fairly with no favouritism shown to any students.…
This is where I get to my point of really seeking someone else’s point of view on the subject of integrity. So therefore I interviewed an honest and courageous person here at Rocky Mount Prep. Mrs. Rodriguez, a Spanish teacher at school has seen many things that could represent Integrity at this school. This she pointed out an example of one incident a time near the beginning of the school year. “Towards the beginning of the year, we had a situation that affected a student and someone who put glue on his desk” she explained. “When we finally got the class settled down, I pulled out the group of students who sat in the sounding desks. When brought into the hall I asked them simply if they knew what was going…
