Almost finished school!

I have spent the summer in what you might call, professional development. I have been taking my Provincial Instructors Diploma for Adult Education and I have enjoyed all of my instructors, even the tougher ones, and have learned so much from my colleques both experienced and new to the world of teaching.

I am now facing a huge moral dilema. Several challenges face me. As I see my role in the adult education realm, several challenges need addressing for me. The ethics of those that I have worked with have come in to contradition over these past several months. Ethics is a set of standards and behaviours that have been predetermined by an institution or organization as an expression of their values that they feel is the priority for their organization.

Professionalism, I have come to find is essentionally doing the right thing at the right time for the right reasons. It is not a degree, background, certificate, but rather a personal attitude that says, that there are things I will and will not do. I have come to find that these are different for everyone.

I am been faced with moral dilema that has me trying to deal with unspeakable behaviour in situations that I have been exposed to over a long period of time and I must address these. Gossip, slander, character assignation, dishonesty, lack of accountablity and the manipulation of circumstances has put me in a place that I cannot allow myself to be a part of. Although I am human and certainly make mistakes, I would NEVER delibertaly play "divide and conquer" games to manipulate circumstances to better myself or my situation. I would never set out to "remove" colleques to push forth my own agenda. Additionally I would never choose to try and destory another to improve myself.

This is where the challenges have come and I must decide what is the right thing to do at the right moment and for the right reasons.
Think of me as I make my very tough decisions.
