Educator Ethics: Giving our Profession Permission to Have Difficult ConversationsSession ID: PR-1E(English)

Presenter: Troy Hutchings, EdDSenior Strategic AdvisorEducational Testing ServicePrinceton NJ

Educators often face “grey” areas where there are no clear distinctions or delineations between right and wrong, appropriate or inappropriate conduct. Establishing an ethical framework with guiding principles can serve to offer direction to educators when the path to ethical decision-making becomes murky. Professional ethical standards help provide a foundation and common narrative of consistent guidance for educators’ interactions and professional relationships by providing a common framework to make critical decisions. Until recently, JK-12 education in many jurisdictions in the United States has not had a unified code of ethics like in other fiduciary professions.

The National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification’s recently unveiled Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE) establishes principles that serve as a guide to help educators navigate the complexities of daily practice. The development and application of the MCEE will be explored using case studies and engaging examples. This interactive session will examine the vast complexities, competing tensions, and risks that are inherent within teaching. It will build a case that in teaching, as in other fiduciary professions, ethics should actually be a higher threshold than law.

Implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s “Calls to Action” Session ID: PI-1E(English)

Presenter: Julia CandlishDirector of EducationChiefs of Ontario

The Director of Education of the Chiefs of Ontario (COO) will provide details on how the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission are being implemented by First Nations in Ontario. We will explore practical ideas on how teachers, administrators and school boards can support implementation through various means. The workshop will include:• an overview of the COO strategy to

implement the calls to action• in-depth coverage of strategy associated

with education-related recommendations• an exploration of linkages and activities

between the COO strategy and the publicly funded school system in Ontario

• open dialogue and sharing of ideas on how teachers, administrators and school boards can support the COO strategy and the calls to action in general.

Employers’ Duty to Report to the Ontario College of TeachersSession ID: OCT-1E(English)

Presenter: Nadine Carpenter, L.L.B., LL.M. (ADR) Manager of Intake & Hearings Ontario College of Teachers

Mobilizing Regulatory Organizations to Better Inform the Public – The “Ordre de Protéger” CampaignSession ID: PI-1aFE(French with simultaneous English interpretation)

Presenters: Jean-François Thuot, Ph.D., Adm.A., ASCExecutive DirectorConseil interprofessionnel du Québec

Carole MarcilProject DirectorConseil interprofessionnel du Québec

The 45 regulatory organizations of the Conseil interprofessionnel du Québec (CIQ) launched the Ordre de protéger [Order to protect] campaign in March 2014 to raise public awareness of their role and actions to serve and protect the public interest.

This public information campaign is driven by the use of a blog (www.ordredeproteger.com), Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The main goal is to inform the public about the mission of the regulatory organizations and how they fulfill it. The campaign is being conducted at a time when the general public and political decision-makers are questioning the effectiveness of public protection mechanisms.

We will present various elements of the campaign and the communications, financial, and technological challenges they entailed: the visual signature shared by the 45 organizations, blog design, content development, editorial policy, choice and use of social media, web advertising spots, media campaign, and management of public comments.

We also established performance indicators to monitor the campaign’s progress (website and social media traffic) on a monthly and annual basis. We want to see if the public confidence and their level of satisfaction toward regulatory organizations have changed.Because resources for this campaign were

limited, one of the conditions for its success was the engagement of all CIQ members in promoting the campaign.

The campaign ends in 2016, but we are already drawing lessons from the experience.

Thursday, May 26, 2016Workshop Series 2 | 11:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Workshops (cont’d)


The Fairness Lens in a Changing LandscapeSession ID: PI-2E(English)

Presenter: Fiona CreanOmbudsmanHydro One

Defining fairness is no easy task. It is bounded by circumstance, social location, expectations, cultural norms, and many other factors. That is further complicated by shifting demographics and new demands on human rights and good governance.

This workshop will explore what fairness means, procedurally and substantively. In the context of equity versus equality, the workshop will examine fairness in light of the inclusive notion of equity where people and groups are actually treated differently according to their specific circumstances and contexts in order to give them access to fair results.

The New Employers’ Area: a Resource for Employers of Ontario Certified Teachers and Providers of Additional QualificationsSession ID: OCT-2E(English)

Presenter: Saran Ragunathan, OCT, JDPolicy AnalystOntario College of Teachers

Power, influence and trust: the golden triad for creating win-win resultsSession ID: PR-3E(English)


Presenter: Pierre LaineyFull time lecturerHEC Montréal

Most people would rather decide what they think is best than be told what to do. As a leader in the field of regulation, you know that using your authority is not always the best way to generate action, and often it does not work. Before you can influence people and bring them together, you need to know what drives them.When you appeal to deeply held values and goals, your words and ideas resonate with people. They intrinsically understand that your proposal will help the organization, and also help them live out their personal values and pursue their goals. Also, when you pay close attention to the needs and priorities of individuals and groups within the organization, you can find ways to tie your positions to theirs and create win-win results.

Honing your ability to gain support from others takes time and practice. This workshop will help you tap into your power bases to influence others, to build alliances, and win support.

Towards Proactive Regulation — Aspects, Issues and ChallengesSession ID: PR-3aE(English)

Presenters: Julia BassPolicy CounselPolicy SecretariatLaw Society of Upper Canada

Naomi BussinSenior CounselProfessional RegulationLaw Society of Upper Canada

Lesley CameronActing Executive DirectorProfessional Regulation DivisionLaw Society of Upper Canada

This workshop will address how professional regulators can provide effective and efficient

services to their stakeholders through a focus on proactive regulation. Using the Law Society of Upper Canada as an example, the workshop will offer insights on:• reducing harm through regulation • focusing on prevention of harm rather than

the process of regulation as an end in itself• applying appropriate risk measures• achieving regulatory balance • building relationships of trust with the ones

we regulate• defining desired professional behavior using

regulation as a way to change behaviour • exploring different means of intervention to

achieve change• mobilizing regulated professionals toward

prevention• achieving transparency and accountability

Professional Requirements for Duty to ReportSession ID: OCT-3E(English)

Panel Moderator: Chantal Bélisle, OCT, LL.M. Director of Investigations & HearingsOntario College of Teachers

Panel Participants: • Representative from the Children’s Aid

Society of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin

• Representative from the Greater Sudbury Police Services

As part of its mandate to provide for the ongoing education of members, the Ontario College of Teachers issues professional advisories periodically to provide advice and guidance to our members on current and emerging issues. The College’s fifth advisory is on the duty to report abuse and/or neglect of children and youth to a children’s aid society.

Hear the College’s official advice to its members and join in a frank discussion about breaking down barriers to help teachers continue to live up to their duty to report signs of abuse and/or neglect.



Representatives from children’s aid societies and police services will share their expertise on these important issues.

Staying Resilient and Avoiding Common Errors while Inspiring Others Session ID: PR-4E(English)

Presenter: Glenn S. Lipson, PhD, A.B.P.P.Program Director and Full ProfessorAlliant International UniversitySan Diego CA

Randy Kasper, BCSWProfessor of Graduate Social WorkCalifornia State University

Principal One of the new National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education

and Certification (NASDTEC) Model code of Educator Ethics addresses in part the responsibility of the professional to oneself to maintain both physical and mental health. The wording reflects the need to make a commitment to: “Monitoring and maintaining sound mental, physical, and emotional health necessary to perform duties and services of any professional assignment; and taking appropriate measures when personal or health-related issues may interfere with work-related duties.” During this two person panel we will discuss the tools and techniques that promote healthier relationships with yourself and others as those who are in and who regulate professions. The goal of this presentation is to assist you in reflecting on the ways in which those in public positions and professions practice self-care and how this practice essentially benefits the community you serve.

Get Your Message Out!Session ID: PI-4E(English)

Presenter: Brad HughesDirector, Member Support / Communications Services Kentucky School Boards Association

The phone rings. It’s a reporter wanting to talk to you. The difference between answering the reporter’s questions and crafting your message is what makes a successful interview. This workshop will provide participants with experience-based methods to prepare talking points and, more importantly, initiate a media story to highlight something positive about your school and/or district. Areas covered include: creating a quotable message, anticipating reporters’ questions, dealing with controversies, building relationships with local journalists, reacting when reporters get it wrong, and avoiding common media relations mistakes. This will appeal to education leaders who may find themselves in the media spotlight on a regular basis and others whose work puts them


in a position where the next ring of the phone could be a reporter’s call.

Sharing Information to Serve Multiple InvestigationsSession ID: PR-4aE(English)

Panel Moderator: Chris Buck Senior Investigator Ontario College of Teachers

Une approche pédagogique de l’autoréglementation — Inspirer la confiance au public dans la déontologie professionnelleSession ID: OCT-4F(French)

Presenter: Lily Harfouche, OCT Bilingual Program OfficerOntario College of Teachers

Au cours de cette séance centrée sur l’expérience, les participants examineront des ressources et pratiques pédagogiques fondées sur le questionnement et conçues de façon collaborative afin d’améliorer la prise de décisions et le leadership éthiques. Ces ressources et pratiques illustrent l’engagement des membres, des intervenants et du public dans une démarche éducative pour l’autoréglementation professionnelle en Ontario. Sous l’angle d’une approche pédagogique de l’autoréglementation, les normes d’exercice et de déontologie de la profession enseignante définissent une vision collective de l’éthique qui inspire confiance au public. Cet atelier soulignera également l’importance des partenariats parmi les organismes de réglementation et les intervenants pour concrétiser cette vision.

Friday, May 27, 2016Workshop Series 5 | 8:30 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.

Person-Centered Regulation?Session ID: PR-5E(English)

Presenter: Jim MartinScottish Public Services OmbudsmanEdinburgh, Scotland

The basic question for me is: do we believe in citizen-centered regulation? If we do, what are we doing about it?

By 2016, all of Scotland’s public services will be operating a simplified, standardized complaints process, designed and overseen by the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman. For the Ombudsman, understanding the needs of the citizen — whether they are a patient, tenant, student, prisoner, consumer, or family member — is at the very heart of the process.

I will explore:• how regulators can use this innovative

process to work smarter and to plan interventions



• how the learning from this process can improve service

• how regulators, service providers and professional bodies/trades unions need to think about how they work positively with complainants and whistle-blowers.

Mobile Devices, Social Media, and Ethical Lapses: A Pan-Professional Regulatory Challenge Session ID: PR-5aE(English)

Presenters: Catherine SlagleDirector Office of Professional Practices Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction State of Washington

Frederick S. LaneAuthor/Attorney/Lecturer

Over the past decade, mobile devices and global social networks have created a host of challenges for regulatory agencies in virtually every profession. With cameras and recording devices in everyone’s hands and the Internet never more than a click away, there is virtually unlimited potential for unethical behavior and professional/private boundary violations, as newspaper headlines make all too clear. This presentation provides: an overview of the many ways mobile technology and social media have become integral to our personal and professional lives, along with a preview of emerging devices and services; reviews current codes of ethics for various Ontario professions and discusses possible areas of improvement; and includes examples of how regulatory agencies in Ontario and elsewhere respond to ethical code violations involving mobile technology and social media. A question and answer session will follow.

An Educative Stance to Self-Regulation — Inspiring Public Trust in Ethical ProfessionalismSession ID: OCT-5E(English)

Presenter: Déirdre Smith, OCT, M.Ed. Manager of Standards of Practice and EducationOntario College of Teachers

This experiential session will introduce participants to inquiry-based educative resources and practices collaboratively designed to enhance ethical decision-making and leadership. These resources and practices exemplify the engagement of members, stakeholders and the public in an educative process of professional self-regulation in Ontario. An educative stance to self-regulation envisions the Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession and the Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession as a collective vision of ethical professionalism that inspires public trust. The session will also highlight the importance of partnerships among regulators and stakeholders in helping to achieve this vision.

Pouvoir, influence et confiance : la triade idéale afin de produire des résultats bénéfiques pour tousSession ID: PR-5aF(French)

Presenter: Pierre LaineyFull-time lecturerHEC Montréal

La plupart des gens préfèrent utiliser leur jugement plutôt qu’on leur dise quoi faire. En tant que chef de file du domaine de la réglementation, vous êtes conscient du fait qu’user de son autorité n’est pas toujours le meilleur moyen de susciter une mobilisation; bien souvent, cela ne fonctionne pas. Avant de pouvoir exercer une influence sur les gens pour les mobiliser, vous devez savoir ce qui les motive.

Lorsque vous faites appel à des valeurs et à des objectifs profondément enracinés, vos mots et vos idées trouvent un écho auprès des gens. Ils comprennent intrinsèquement que ce que vous proposez est non seulement à l’avantage de l’organisme, mais les aidera aussi à vivre


leurs valeurs personnelles et à poursuivre leurs objectifs. Par ailleurs, en portant une attention particulière aux besoins et aux priorités des individus ainsi que des groupes présents au sein de l’organisme, vous pouvez cerner des moyens de rapprocher vos positions des leurs, tout en produisant des résultats bénéfiques pour tous.

Affiner votre capacité de gagner l’appui des autres prend du temps et nécessite de la pratique. Grâce à cet atelier, vous apprendrez à puiser dans vos forces pour influencer les autres, créer des alliances et obtenir le soutien que vous recherchez.

Resilient Registrants — Evidence-Based AdviceSession ID: PR-6E(English)

Presenter: Ginny HanrahanChief Executive OfficerHealth and Social Care Professionals Council Ireland, CORU

Jenny BulbuliaCouncil MemberHealth and Social Care Professionals Council Ireland, CORU

CORU, the regulator for health and social care professions in Ireland, has been questioning if resilience is an issue that regulators should consider when monitoring registrants. This session will give the final results of research by Jenny Bulbulia, a PhD candidate, and her colleagues Michael Gordon and David Hevey of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Using quantitative and qualitative tools, the research has identified the positive skills and protective mechanisms resilient workers use despite dealing with challenging work situations while maintaining a good work/life balance.

We will review the lessons learned from social workers from six countries including three Canadian provinces and discuss how these are relevant to other professions such as teachers. The session will also report on a survey of regulators discussing how the results of this research could potentially impact on further ways to regulate professions. Are resilience requirements necessary for regulation? If not, what are the best ways for regulators to address the issue? Expect to discuss: the wellbeing of a registrant and who is responsible for fostering this planning for the future of regulationapproaches to continuing competencethe importance of work/life balance in maintaining resilience among registrants This session will highlight the importance of evidence based regulation.

Responding to the Call — Fostering Reconciliation Session ID: PI-6E(English)

Presenters: Rebecca Jamieson, OCTPresident Six Nations Polytechnic

Rick HillDeyohahá:ge: Coordinator Six Nations Polytechnic

On June 2, 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its final report Calls to Action which is based on the testimony of more than 6,750 survivor and witness statements from across the country after over a century of abuse at Indian Residential Schools.The report was clear: the time for meaningful healing and reconciliation is now. But questions remain:• How do we bring the 94 recommendations

to life as educators, administrators, leaders, and parents?

• What promising practices are already underway?



• How can schools, teachers and citizens, move beyond guilt and towards responsibility?

• How can we develop a shared understanding of what the path to reconciliation looks like?

• What supports are available as we do so?

Six Nations Polytechnic (SNP) is an Indigenous Education Institute committed to student success and well-being, closing the knowledge gap about Indigenous peoples in Canada and contributing to a sustainable future for all. In our experience, supporting one another and building relationships is critical to realizing the vision of the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. This workshop will explore key recommendations and suggest ways in which mainstream and Indigenous educational agencies can achieve productive results. We will discuss how school, educational systems and education communities can become key players in fostering reconciliation within education, as well as between your community and your Indigenous neighbours.
