Designed to support case methods instruction in post secondary education, A Canadian Casebook for Law & Ethics in Teaching provides 80 recent judicial rulings from courts across the country, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. Cases address key issues in Canadian educational law and ethics for teacher candidates and for aspiring school administrators, such as :

•          Can a school district or teacher be sued for negligence in not meeting an educational standard?
•          Can a Catholic teacher be fired for maintaining a non-Catholic lifestyle?
•          Can parents protect their child from false teachings?

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, human rights cases, the law of negligence, minority language laws, labour laws, Criminal Code matters, and Indigenous laws as they relate to K-12 schools are covered.

Well known cases such as Jubran and Ross are included, but other original cases in teachers’ classroom assessment, teachers’ interpretation of evidence,  teachers’ use of new technologies, and teachers’ dress in the classroom are found in this anthology.

Each case is authentic, while being lightly edited for use in a typical teacher education class. Cases have been foreshortened to remove unnecessary procedural matters. Each case focuses on the fact situation, the differing positions of the parties, the legal precedents, the court’s judgement, and the rationale.  A general introduction is provided for each case, with followup questions about common ethical and legal dilemmas facing the educational practitioner.

Introductory and concluding essays raise provocative questions about using case methods to constructively build teachers’ legal knowledge and promote ethical conduct.
