This year, I am actually teaching in the Coquitlam School District&#8217;s online program so there is less opportunity to interact face-to-face with students.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that I think is a great way to incorporate ethical leadership in a classroom or course is to set the expectations at the beginning of the course. During my pedagogical training for my Bachelor of Education, we learned that it is always a good idea to set classroom expectations at the beginning of the course or school year. Communicating ethical expectations is one of the leadership behaviours that Van Buren (2013) lists as an effective way to help build a moral and ethical community in an organization. I believe that including expectations on ethical and moral behaviour in classroom rules is one way teachers could bring explicit ethical leadership into the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>I agree with you that honesty is one of the major building blocks of a good community. Transparency and openness as an educator is so important when building relationships with students and parents.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your post, Sadie!<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Van Buren, J.
