Teachers and the Law
Paperback Engels 2014 9780133564464Samenvatting
Future teachers and administrators and current school professionals get a comprehensive, user-friendly guide to critical school law topics and issues in this widely popular book. Using a unique question and answer format based on real cases from school districts throughout the country, the authors provide a thorough, wide-ranging understanding of public school law in the United States today. The clear, jargon-free writing style is ideal for readers without a strong legal background, as it eliminates technical and intimidating legal speak in favor of clear, simple explanations.
The new edition covers topics of concern today including: The rights of transgender students. Procedural versus substantive due process. Charter schools and vouchers. Students’ privacy rights when using computer. The federal laws affecting disabled students, and includes a discussion of a recent affirmative action case.
