School Policy Towards Teacher/Student Communication
Our superintendent sent an email about creating a policy regarding the use of communication tools between teachers and students. This is the proposal. While I understand the need for caution, I'm a little concerned about something this broad put into policy. What are other schools doing?
Proposal:
The following non-exclusive list of actions may be regarded as a violation of the professional boundaries that employees are expected to maintain with a student:
**Using E-mail, text messaging, instant messaging or social networking sites to discuss with a student a matter that does not pertain to school related activities, such as the student’s homework, class activity, school sport or club, or other school-sponsored activity, or other appropriate subjects. Electronic communications with students are to be sent simultaneously to multiple recipients, not to just one student, except where the communication is clearly school-related and inappropriate for persons other than the individual student to receive (for example, e-mailing a message about a student’s grades.)
