In the many years that I have worked with teachers, I found that teachers were constantly in fear of being "burned" by their administration. Indeed, how many of you have had an administrator or others bully you with legal or procedural threats?

Finally, how many of you have feared retaliation for standing up for your rights? If you have experienced any of these situations, this book is for you. I have good news and bad news. Bad news first, the legal aspects of your teaching career will not go away.

Download or read book Teachers Have Rights Too written by Leigh Stelzer and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the law-related concerns of school teachers. Much of the data on which the book is based was collected during a four year study, conducted by the American Bar Association with the support of the Ford Foundation. Court cases are cited. Chapter one examines "Tenure." Since tenure gives teachers the right to their jobs, tenured teachers cannot be dismissed without due process of law or without cause. They are entitled to notice of charges and a fair hearing, with the opportunity to present a defense. The burden is on school authorities to show that there are good and lawful reasons for dismissal. "Reduction In Force (RIF)" is the topic of chapter two. Many school districts are facing declining enrollments and rising costs for diminished services. RIF begins with a decision that a school district has too many teachers. Laws vary from state to state. Discussed are: What requirements must be met for RIF to be declared? Who can be RIFed?; What procedures must be followed? Do RIFed personnel have reinstatement rights? Chapter three deals with "Negligence." Negligence is the failure to anticipate unreasonable risk and guard against the consequences. In general, teachers are unlikely to be held responsible for students' injuries. Normal considerations of negligence and liability protect the responsible teacher. Chapters four through eight treat the topics of "Malpractice and Defamation,""Discipline,""Academic Freedom,""Freedom of Speech and Association," and "Life-Style Choices." Two areas not examined are unionization and some of the emerging issues in the legislative arena such as teacher accountability and teacher competency. The book concludes with a list of related resources in the ERIC system. (Author/RM)
