Beginning education professionals must understand and enact professional roles and responsibilities as mandated reporters and comply with all laws concerning professional conduct, and moral fitness, including the responsible use of social media and other digital platforms and tools. After TED 400 class discussions of professional teacher dispositions, social media usage (cyber-bullying), and legal issues in education, you will be required to (1) write up a summary of what you’ve learned in regards to these 3 topics to demonstrate comprehension, (2) fine one peer-reviewed professional journal article on each of the 3 topics, (3) take the Mandated Reporter Educators Training online module and (4), upload the summary and Certification of Completion Award to their Taskstream account.
In your paper, include the following:
