    Falsifying educational records is unethical and illegal regardless of who requests it.

  2. Professional learning communities (PLCs) in CTE primarily support professionalism by:

  4. Which scenario best illustrates a conflict of interest for a CTE teacher?

    Answer: Directing students to an internship program owned by the teacher's spouse

    Directing students to a business owned by a family member creates a financial conflict of interest that undermines objectivity.

    Answer: Maintaining appropriate teacher-student relationships that prioritize student welfare

    Professional boundaries define the appropriate relational limits that protect students from exploitation and ensure educator objectivity.

  6. A student asks a CTE teacher to provide a personal reference for a job at the teacher's former employer. What is the best ethical response?

    Answer: Provide the reference if it can be honest and the student's qualifications are genuine

    Providing honest references is an appropriate professional act that supports student career development when based on genuine qualifications.

    State educator codes of ethics universally obligate teachers to pursue ongoing professional growth and maintain pedagogical competence.
