Scenario number: 3
Reflection:

One thing I learned from this assignment and reading the scenarios is that these things
actually happen in classrooms and teachers have to use what they have learned and their own
feelings to deal with them. In the scenario I picked, a teacher just came back from winter break.
She is told that a new child will be in her class on Monday and that she needs to call his parents.
If I was this teacher, I would be a little overwhelmed. From what I have observed and
experienced from coming back to school after break is that it is hard to find the mindset of school
again. So, having to find that mindset and help a child feel comfortable in a new classroom with
new people may feel overwhelming. This teacher also finds out that the day after the boy comes
to her class, a girl who has cerebral palsy is also going to be joining her class. The teacher’s
supervisor wants to know how the teacher is going to help and make sure she is part of her
classroom. The teacher in this scenario learned a lot of important information, that may have
changed the way she was going to teach and her curriculum for the rest of the school year. She
now has to adjust and make sure those students feel welcomed and cared for, just like the rest of
her students.
