Confidentiality Policy

The Learning, Teaching, & Innovative Technologies Center provides an
important service to the university , offering faculty members its support
and resources to further their professional development and to enhance
 their teaching skills, all to ensure that students receive a quality
education at MTSU.  For any teaching center to be successful, it must
operate in a zone of discretion and confidentiality so that faculty trust
the center as supportive, not evaluative.  Without that trust, a center
cannot achieve the spirit of community required to fulfill its mission.
Therefore, the staff and associated faculty committees making up this Center,
 in their roles as educational developers, ascribe to the ethical guidelines of the Professional and
Organizational Development Network in Higher Education (POD), a document
augmenting the code of privacy & ethics already in place for MTSU employees.

The ethical guidelines that POD prescribes contain
ideals that  inform the practice of educational developers in such
areas of professional behavior as--

• providing responsible service to faculty
• demonstrating competence and integrity
• assuring that the rights of others are respected
• maintaining the confidentiality of any information 
  demonstrating competence and integrity;
  maintaining the confidentiality of any information regarding
   contact with faculty;
• fulfilling responsibilities to the profession of education as a whole .
