Personal Behavior and Professional Ethics

Implications for Special Educators

Thomas M. Stephens, PhD

Thomas M. Stephens, PhD, is chairman of Exceptional Children, College of Education, Ohio State University. Requests for reprints should be addressed to Dr. Stephens, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210-1390.

The need for enforceable professional standards for special educators is discussed within the context of recent criminal convictions of four prominent special educators. Their misconduct is related to possible contributing factors that are inherent in our present system: the lack of clear professional standards and emphasis on centralized controls. Another factor is our society's tendency to use publicity in lieu of research evidence. Examples of each factor are provided within the broad context of professional education. Some corrections are proposed.
