[Year 12 IT Apps] This email community & the VIT 'Code of Conduct'

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

Hi all,

The new Victorian Institute of Teaching 'Code of Conduct' appears to codify
what many would say is already normal practice in our online-ed communities

   http://www.vit.vic.edu.au/content.asp?Document_ID=882

Eg: Principle: Collegiality is an integral part of the work of teachers

Teachers demonstrate collegiality by:

a. treating each other with courtesy and respect

b. valuing the input of their colleagues

c. using appropriate forums for constructive debate on professional matters

d. sharing expertise and knowledge in a variety of collaborative contexts

e. respecting different approaches to teaching

f. providing support for others, particularly those new to the profession

g. sharing information relating to the wellbeing of students.

Think about it, what part of this mailing list does not meet all the above?

Cheers people
