员工行为准则 - Interactions with Students

海德罗伊斯学校鼓励学生结业, 温暖的, and considerate relationship between students and teachers and staff. Our employees serve as the students’ role models, guides and mentors in learning as well as living. The purpose of these guidelines is to give clear direction regarding appropriate conduct and boundaries between employees and students. The expectations for conduct set forth in this document are not intended to serve as an exhaustive list of requirements, 限制, or prohibitions on staff conduct and activities established by the School. 相反，它们的目的是:

  • Alert employees to some of the more sensitive and often problematic matters involved in faculty/staff-student relationships;
  • Specify boundaries related to the educator/student relationship and conduct that is contrary to accepted norms of behavior and in conflict with duties and responsibilities of
  • professional educators; and
  • Provide employees with clear guidance in conducting themselves in a manner that reflects high standards of professionalism.


It is important for the School to maintain a School-wide culture in which students and employees understand their responsibility to report misconduct without fearing retaliation. 以防止滥用和/或剥削, students and the professional community must know that the Administration will support them when they report possible misconduct. Although this policy gives clear direction regarding appropriate conduct between employees and students, each employee is obligated to avoid situations that could prompt suspicion by other members of the 学校社区. One helpful standard that can be quickly applied when assessing whether your conduct is appropriate is to ask yourself, “Would I be doing this if the student’s family or my colleagues or family were standing next to me?”.

If an employee experiences a difficult situation related to boundaries, the employee should ask for advice from a supervisor, 系主任或校长.

 

维持边界的指引

Some activities may seem innocent from an employee's perspective, but can be perceived as flirtation or sexual insinuation from a student or parent point of view, therefore employees should not engage in any type of behavior that might have the appearance of impropriety if observed by others. The objective of the following examples of appropriate boundaries is not to restrain positive relationships between employees and students, but to avoid situations that may be seen as inappropriate. Employees must understand their own responsibility for ensuring that they do not cross the boundaries of an educator/student relationship. 因此, it is crucial that all employees learn this policy thoroughly and apply the lists of acceptable and unacceptable behavior to their daily activities.
