Read the first 7 Professional Standards & Ethics flashcards as text

  1. A speed reading program's own internal data shows comprehension drops sharply above a certain speed. Ethically, the program should:

    Answer: Disclose this trade-off to students and set realistic speed targets

    Transparency about the speed-comprehension trade-off lets students set informed, realistic goals.

  2. Which behavior best reflects fairness when teaching a mixed-ability speed reading class?

    Answer: Setting individualized progress goals based on each student's baseline

    Individualized baselines ensure each student is evaluated fairly against their own starting point.

  3. An instructor wants to publish a case study about a student's dramatic improvement. Before publishing, they must:

    Answer: Obtain the student's informed consent and anonymize identifying details as agreed

    Publishing a student's story requires informed consent and agreed-upon privacy protections.

  4. A competitor spreads false claims about an instructor's course. The most professional response is to:

    Answer: Correct the record factually and pursue formal channels if needed, without retaliatory falsehoods

    Professional standards require truthful correction and legitimate remedies rather than retaliation in kind.

  5. Why should a speed reading instructor avoid presenting anecdotes as scientific proof?

    Answer: Anecdotes lack controls and can mislead students about typical, verifiable outcomes

    Individual anecdotes are not controlled evidence and can create misleading expectations when framed as proof.

  6. A student confides personal information unrelated to the course during a coaching session. The instructor should:

    Answer: Keep the disclosure confidential unless safety or law requires otherwise

    Personal disclosures deserve confidentiality except where safety or legal obligations require reporting.

  7. Which pricing practice aligns with professional ethics for a speed reading course?

    Answer: Clearly disclosing all fees, materials costs, and refund terms before enrollment

    Transparent, upfront pricing and refund terms allow students to make informed enrollment decisions.
