Due in part to the added pressure and stress induced by accountability mandates, researchers hypothesized new demands could trigger an array of undesirable responses. This study examined the relationship between teachers’perspectives of their ethical orientation and their self-reported behavior regarding academic policies. Utilizing a survey instrument to capture perspectives on academic decisions, data were collected from elementary teachers (N=155) in one suburban school district within a large metropolitan area in Southeast Texas. The data were then analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The results suggest elementary teachers did report engaging in academic misconduct to some degree. The findings suggest, as well, that reported misconduct was significantly related to the ethical viewpoint of the respondent. Collaboration and professional development are discussed as potential interventions at reducing academic impropriety.  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 16, No. 2– November, 2015 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2015 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nIntroduction  \nSince the initiation of Public Law 107-110 (i.e., the No Child Left Behind Act, NCLB), reports of teachers violating academic policies have been occurring with greater regularity (Bruhn, Zajac. Al-Kazemi, & Prescott, 2002; Cummings, Maddux, Harlow, & Dyas, 2002; Evetts, 2006; Storm & Storm, 2007) . Cases have been reported where teachers and administrators have illegally engaged in fraudulent test activity such as altering scoring sheets of children on high stakes exams (Almasy, 2015) . Noting the added pressure and stress associated with ratcheted performance demands and the threat of sanctions, researchers set out to examine to what degree impactful accountability requirements influence choices and ethical perspectives of teachers concerning academic policy.  \nBecause behaviors of teachers, inside and outside the classroom, are of enormous interest to the public, schools must give full attention to these matters. Otherwise, as some studies suggest (Bruhn et al., 2002; Cummings et al., 2002; Evetts, 2006; Storm & Storm, 2007), public opinion and trust may diminish. In view of prior research, this study explores two areas: (a) teachers’perspectives of their past decisions toward academic policies (i.e., did teachers perceive themselves as breaching the law relevant to academic policies?); and (b) the link between teachers’ academic policy choices and their selfreported ethical orientation (i.e., to what particular ethical viewpoint do teachers rationalize their interaction with academic policy?) . Implications for leadership and decision-making are discussed.  \nBackground  \nTo more fully grapple with teachers’ interactions with academic policies, researchers focused on academic impropriety in the workplace and ethics in education. The academic impropriety literature was useful in contextualizing teachers’ responses to items that probed their perceived interaction with policy. Literature on ethics also provided a lens to examine, from a philosophical premise, the ethical rationale for teachers arriving at a decision or choice.  \nAcademic Dishonesty  \nGenerally considered a violation of an academic policy, academic dishonesty has been a topic of research for decades (Cizek, 1999; Cummings et al., 2002; Finn & Frone, 2004; McCabe, 1999; McCabe, Trevino, ","cbCaijFmw7vtL0St","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijFmw7vtL0St","pdf",292062,15,"English","# Introduction\n# Background\n## Academic Dishonesty\n## Pressure and Conflict\n## Ethics and Ethical Framing","[{\"question\":\"What does the study examine about teachers and academic policies?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the relationship between teachers’ ethical orientation and their self-reported behavior regarding compliance with academic policies.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a survey instrument to capture teachers’ perspectives on academic decisions and analyzed responses from 155 elementary teachers with descriptive and inferential statistical tests.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results suggest about academic misconduct?\",\"answer\":\"Elementary teachers reported engaging in academic misconduct to some degree, and the reported misconduct was significantly related to the teachers’ ethical viewpoint.\"}]","Exploring Ethics and Teacher Conduct in a Suburban School District - November 2015 | PDF",1792093325,38]
