Case: Play the class clown
You're teaching a freshman health class and you're a quarter way through your first semester. You have just recently mastered all your students names, but you are still getting to know who they are and their personalities. Your unit has shifted from healthy relationships to abusive relationships. You've got one student who in particular usually is pretty well- behaved but during this unit starts to act out and play the class clown. One day, while you were covering sexual abuse he makes a comment that makes you believe he could have been abused. What do you do? How would you respond to the students comment? Would you take them aside after class and talk to him even if your relationship with the student is still not matured? What are your responsibilities / actions as a teacher in this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This one is as simple as it comes. If you suspect that there is any type of abuse going on with a student, as a mandated reporter, you must report anything you find out of the norm to the appropriated person within the school. Once you have reported this it is no longer your responsibility. Of course you should follow up with the school nurse or whom ever to find out what progress has been made. |

Comments: I would always want to report anything and everything even if it was not mandatory. To me it is very important and the students health and safety is very important to me. Especially if I can be the one who makes a difference in their life. |
