John Pijanowski, Ph.D., University of Arkansas (Vitae) and David Blacker, Ph.D., University of Delaware (Vitae) present the 2011 Arkansas version of Omni's Educator Ethics Series which provides an in depth analysis of professional ethics for educators and pre-service educators in the state of Arkansas.
The Educator Ethics Series is a group of books designed to provide an in depth explanation of the theory and practices behind educational ethics on a state by state basis.
Each edition begins with an introduction to the field of ethics, emphasizing applied and professional ethics, before turning to a detailed discussion of ethics specifically for Arkansas educators which includes a wide variety of situations in which Arkansas educators have engaged in unethical or questionable conduct.
The initial concept for the series was developed by Frances R. A. Paterson, J.D., Ed.D., who teaches school law, ethics and law (for educators), and related courses at Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA. Dr. Paterson also serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Educator Ethics Series.
Both students and instructors find that learning about actual incidents of educator misconduct in their state, makes a vivid and indelible impression.
