How was the confidentiality code violated with the mother? The mother's information should have never been placed on the door. The teacher should have placed that information in a secure place.
How was the confidentiality code violated with the child? Teacher do not have any right to gossips with each other at work or away from work. It was very wrong for the teacher to have had the conversation that they had.
Do you think there should have been a discussion between the two directors concerning Eric's disability prior to his enrollment? No I do not feel that the two directors should have had any discussion.
Who should have been at the meeting. The family (mother,father, child, grandparent ect...all should be welcome), Teachers, and both directors.
Do you think a conversation with Eric's classmate would have been helpful? Yes.
List some methods that might have eased Eric's transition to his new school. Have a meet and greet. I thinks this is the best way for families and staff to get to know each other. Have Eric met his new classmate before his first day of school. Allow him to have his stuff toy, that was is comfort zone.
How do you feel about the teacher's conversation at the restaurant? Very unprofessional. She has not right telling other people business. If she felt the need to have the conversation, she should have not used any names.
What if the conversation happened in the staff lounge at the center? If it was my center and I heard it, they both would have been written up on a final warning and if it ever happened again, this would be cause for termination.
Do you think the mother should leave her child in that school? No I do not think she should leave her child in that school.
We as providers have to maintain the code of confidentiality. We want families to be able to communicate with us and share sensitive family needs and situation, so we must gain and maintain trust with our families.
