The Negligence Evolution

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

"As a former high school principal I find that the authors' approach to the ever-evolving issue of negligence in public education is not only very timely (thanks, for example, to the inclusion of negligence regarding technology) but extremely thought-provoking as well. Their work provoked me to think of applications not only in the context of my school experience, but also beyond that as they might apply to more comprehensive questions. I found myself reexamining long-held personal notions and ideas about negligence, my role and my exposure. Each chapter challenged me to pause, reflect, and apply. I particularly enjoyed the balance between examples in case law and hypothetical scenarios. With decades of experience as an educator, it's not often that a work makes me sit up and take a fresh look at my established ideas.These authors have done that." -Tom Welch, former high school principal and current education consultant

"This compelling book delves into the crucial intersection of public K-12 education and negligence, providing invaluable and novel insights for school personnel. With a keen examination of the unique challenges and responsibilities faced within the public education system, Godett and Nobile provide an indispensable guide for fostering a safe and accountable environment for both students, staff, and school administrators." -Chris Yarrell, Education Attorney, Center for Law & Education

This book explores the intersections of negligence law in the context of public schooling and school policy. Today's schools face challenges that could easily, and even unintentionally, create a climate for an increase in negligence-based lawsuits. Vacillating laws and societal expectations force administrators to adjust to changing education paradigms as our traditional model of schooling responds to previously unimagined realities. There is no shortage of public policy demanding administrators' attention in response to increased gun violence, limitations on what children can read and what teachers can teach, how we refer to ourselves and each other, and more that emerge almost daily. This book defines "Next-Gen Negligence," placing the tort's traditional elements in the context of an educator's current and future practice, elucidating the tremendous implications for education as a profession.
