Artifact #1: Dignity for All Students Act Certification

This act was designed to help students feel as though their schools were a place where

they feel safe and supported. This act ensures that schools are “free from discrimination,

intimidation, taunting, harassment, and bullying on school property, a school bus and/or at a

school function” (The Dignity Act, 2018, p. 1). I feel as thought this certification is extremely

important for educators as it provides a lot of information on how to identify bullying, how to

deal with issues such as discrimination and harassment as well as learn intervention strategies

and most importantly prevention strategies. Students in today’s classroom face far more bullying

than I ever did, and with the use of technology it has become much more easier to accomplish.

After completing the DASA training, I feel more prepared and knowledgeable with regards to

these issues. I am very excited to be including my DASA certificate as part of my portfolio as it

shows that I am committed to my professional development.

Connections to Standards

INTASC Standards

Standard #9: Professional Learning and Ethical Practice. The teacher engages in

ongoing professional learning and uses evidence to continually evaluate his/her practice,

particularly the effects of his/her choices and actions on others (learners, families, other

professionals, and the community), and adapts practice to meet the needs of each learner.

NYS Code of Ethics for Educators

Principle 1: Educators nurture the intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and civic

potential of each student.

Educators promote growth in all students through the integration of intellectual, physical,

emotional, social and civic learning. They respect the inherent dignity and worth of each
individual. Educators help students to value their own identity, learn more about their cultural

heritage, and practice social and civic responsibilities. They help students to reflect on their own

learning and connect it to their life experience. They engage students in activities that encourage

diverse approaches and solutions to issues, while providing a range of ways for students to

demonstrate their abilities and learning. They foster the development of students who can

analyze, synthesize, evaluate and communicate information effectively.

The Ontario Ethical Teacher Standard

Care - The ethical standard of Care includes compassion, acceptance, interest and insight

for developing students' potential. Members express their commitment to students' well-being

and learning through positive influence, professional judgment and empathy in practice.
