  1. A teacher suspects a student is being abused at home. Under Texas law, what is the teacher's obligation?

    Answer: Report directly to Child Protective Services (CPS) as a mandatory reporter

    Texas law designates teachers as mandatory reporters who must report reasonable suspicions of abuse directly to CPS—delegation to another party does not fulfill this legal duty.

  2. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) primarily protects:

    Answer: The privacy of students' educational records from unauthorized disclosure

    FERPA restricts the release of personally identifiable information in student records without consent of parents (or students 18+).

  3. A parent requests a conference about their child's failing grades. To be MOST professionally effective, the teacher should:

    Answer: Prepare specific data on student performance and come with suggested action steps

    Effective parent conferences rely on concrete evidence and proactive solutions, establishing a collaborative partnership focused on student success.

  4. Which of the following is an example of a teacher maintaining professional ethical standards?

    Answer: Maintaining confidentiality about a student's IEP details when speaking with non-involved staff

    Protecting confidential student information to only those with a legitimate educational interest upholds both FERPA and professional ethics.

  5. A teacher consistently reflects on instructional practices, seeks feedback, and pursues professional development. This behavior BEST exemplifies:

    Answer: A growth mindset and commitment to continuous professional learning

    Ongoing reflection, feedback-seeking, and professional learning are hallmarks of a growth mindset and reflective practice—core PPR professional responsibilities.

  6. Which professional behavior BEST demonstrates a teacher's commitment to equity for all students?

    Answer: Providing varying levels of support so each student can reach high standards

    Equity means ensuring every student has the specific support they need to reach rigorous goals, which differs from uniform treatment or lowered expectations.

  7. A new teacher is unsure how to handle a conflict with a colleague over shared resources. The MOST professionally appropriate first step is to:

    Answer: Address the concern directly and respectfully with the colleague

    Professional ethics and collegial norms call for direct, respectful communication as the first step in resolving workplace conflicts.
