Ethics Courses

The Commission has approved the following ethics courses. These are to be taken in conjunction with the issuance of a disciplinary action of monitoring.

• RESA Course #1397 - Ethics for Educators – In this online course participants will focus on professional ethics - our shared and mutually enforced professional norms. Participants will go through three learning tools created by EthicsGame that will enhance their ethical awareness, critical thinking, and ethical decision making. Visit the website for more information: https://fcweb.pioneerresa.org.
• Prevention and Correction: Overview – This online course emphasizes the environmental, educational and social demands that influence an educator's daily decisions. Many of these decisions conflict with personal, organizational, technological, and social factors. Poor decisions -- no matter how well intentioned -- may result in adverse consequences that not only impacted the educator, but also the schools, students and the community.

• EthicsGame and Pioneer RESA - This one-of-a-kind program is delivered online and provides school board members with tools to build an ethical culture in their school system.
• Georgia Center for Child Advocacy – Georgia’s Prevention Initiative starts with the premise that adults are responsible for the safety of children. But many adults feel unable to protect children from sexual abuse because they do not know enough about the problem or the steps they can take to reduce the risk. This Stewards of Children Prevention Training provides training for adults and teachers on signs of sex abuse displayed by children. There is a cost for this program. See http://georgiacenterforchildadvocacy.org/what-we-do/prevention/stewards-of-children.html for more information.
