Teachers contribute to the success of all students, in part, by understanding and being responsive to the legal context of teaching. Simply stated, a teacher's success is increasingly dependent on a sound awareness and prudent application of education law. Although several excellent resources are available for informing the preservice and in-service teacher about school law, a broader context in which teachers must apply their understanding of education law is also necessary. In this article, the authors recommend resources and illustrate specific suggestions for action based on sample situations. The resources and suggestions support enhanced teacher effectiveness in promoting the learning of all students and ultimately strengthening the character, integrity, and professionalism of the teacher.
