Ethics and Talent Management
This week’s assignments will focus on synthesizing the learning for the course and considering the role that ethics plays in human talent management. As a principal, you will be thrust into many different leadership roles and situations that will put all eyes on you. As a leader, it is essential to lead, teach, and model for the staff and students. Your words need to match your actions because that will affect the culture and climate of the campus. It is equally vital to be knowledgeable of best practices, instruction, and technology to ensure that every student is getting a quality education. When working through the assignments, consider all your new learning and how everything works together to improve instruction, achievement, and campus culture.

http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/sbecrules/tac/chapter247/ch247.html

Directions:
1. Read the case study:
2. Carefully analyze the events in the case study as you read.
3. Answer the questions related to the case study.
Debra Pennington, principal of Weldon Elementary School, faced a tearful and distraught teacher. When second-grade teacher Nancy Musick told Ms Pennington last week that she would be out for several weeks, beginning a chemotherapy regime for breast cancer, Nancy had assumed that the conversation would be confidential. However, yesterday afternoon at the local Kroger Superstore, another Weldon Elementary School teacher, Paula Carter, shared her concerns about Nancy’s health and wished her a full recovery. Since Nancy had told only one person, her principal, about her medical condition, she knew that Debra had not kept their conversation private.
Indeed, Debra had discussed Nancy’s cancer diagnosis and treatment with two other second-grade teachers soon after Nancy left her office last Wednesday afternoon. They had considered plans for a substitute teacher to teach in Nancy’s absence and whether to tell the second graders about the seriousness of Nancy’s illness.
Now Nancy is distraught, charging Debra with betraying confidence. “If I had wanted the entire school to know, I would have told them myself. I trusted you to help me, and you let me down.”
