Course Description:

In this course, you will learn the importance of maintaining professional boundaries with your students.

Knowledge of these boundaries is critical for all teachers in order to maintain professional, healthy student-teacher relationships. After the development of an action plan, you will delve further into ideas for implementation by analyzing and applying research and articles to the classroom and by designing a resource that supports the work you plan to implement.
