Law
Generate a “legal handbook” for teachers in assigned school district
Project description
Research assigned state and district policies on teacher rights and responsibilities. Also, research case law that pertains to that state in this regard.
Generate a “legal handbook” of 1,500–2,000 words advising teachers in the district on issues such as:
1. Academic freedom
2. Freedom of association
3. Freedom of expression
4. Freedom of religion
5. Employment rights and responsibilities
6. Any other relevant information they should know regarding their rights and responsibilities
In your handbook, cite state statutes, district policy, and case law to support your discussion. Also consider adding resources the teachers might access to gather more information regarding the issue (e.g., a specific place on the district website or a specific legal website).
