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!) As was previously stated, the most important thing is that, as a mandated reporter, a teacher must report any suspected abuse. Besides that, the teacher could mention in class that if there is anything the students want to talk about, they are available for discussion before or after class. If something more came up, the teacher would absolutely have to report to child services. |
