A select number of students are chosen from each team to participate in POWER (Girls' STEM Program). The parent sends an email expressing her desire for her child to be a part of the program because her cousin is a part of the program. The teachers on the team assure the parent that the maximum number of students have been selected and the child cannot participate. The teacher down the hall gets an extra form and gives it to the student without talking to any teachers on the team. How would you handle the situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would kindly tell the other teacher to mind their own business and ask before doing something. I would talk to the teacher about the actions and how it put the teacher in a difficult position and to consult before adding someone to a group that they don’t manage.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: dont cause rifts between teachers though.
