Instructor Social Media Policy

 

LEARNontherun's policy pertaining to instructors' behaviour on social media.

 

By joining LEARNontherun as instructors, you're agreeing to follow our Terms & Conditions, including our Community Standards. Those expectations include maintaining professional communications with our community (Parents, Children, Instructors and Administrators), modelling appropriate behaviour for our Learners, and generally acting professionally. 

 

This social contract continues with your use of social media and other online forums such as blogs. We encourage you to participate in these as they can provide excellent opportunities to share educational resources, market your classes, network, and share private as well as personal views. However, we do ask that you use your best judgment and be aware that your audience may include the LEARNontherun community. Do not share any personal information, especially Learners' personal information over social media platforms or online forums.

 

Based on our aim to create and safeguard our trusted community, LEARNontherun's social media policy sets forth parameters, as well as specific examples of unacceptable online behaviour. Please bear the following points in mind when you are engaging in LEARNontherun's affiliated groups and in any online forum:

 

• Keep dialogue safe and welcoming: Do not provoke, bully or create unnecessary conflict. Debate is only welcomed when it's healthy and invited.
• Be respectful: Do not make derogatory or disrespectful comments about learners, instructors, parents, or LEARNontherun staff--even if you don't identify them by name.
• Be Kind: Do not share content that contains or promotes hate speech, threats of violence, or endangerment of children. 
• Follow our Privacy Policy: Don't share any personally information about parents or learners. This includes but not limited to; pictures, descriptions, voices, names, and conversations.

 

Additionally, if you are concerned about your privacy, configure privacy settings on your social media platform to reduce visibility of your personal pages. Although this may help keep your personal life separate, we caution that anything shared online could ultimately end up in the public realm. 

 

If LEARNontherun becomes aware of online behaviour (whether on an LEARNontherun-affiliated forum or a personal social media account) that violates this policy or our Community Standards, we may remove teachers from the platform, at our sole discretion. In addition, LEARNontherun reserves the right to monitor and remove any content posted on an LEARNontherun-affiliated forum for any reason.

 

If you have concerns about the online behaviour of another community member, please contact us at admin@whatwillilearn.com. Please note that while LEARNontherun investigates and determines an appropriate course of action, we will not engage in discussions about the outcome nor discuss any other contexts in which we implement this policy.
