In the peanut butter scenario, I would let the paretns know that we must follow all posted rules, no matter the situation in an effort to keep all the children safe. I would apologise and help the parent think of an alternative snack to bring so that the situation would be fully resolved. I would also remind the parent that even the smell of certain items can trigger an allergic reaction for some individuals.
In the shift scenario I would speak with all teachers privately and explain the other teachers situation and my dilemma. I would allow her to leave if everyone agreed to giving up their early shift so she could be with her family. I would also remind the other staff that we are all in the situation at some point and we all need to try and be respectful of our work family and help each other out when we can.
In the lesson plan scenario I would acknowledge that the teacher used my lesson plans in a positive way, such as saying how I would love to hear any ideas she might be able to add to OUR existing lesson plan. I would be cautious of what information I told her and if she it was becoming a problem, I would go to my director and let them know I do not mind sharing all of my ideas and plans, but I also do not want to be discredited for the amount of work I put in to my students and class room.
In the angry parent scenario, I would immediately apologise to the father and tell him that it is required that I write up all accidents or incidents I am aware of. I would let him know that I never heard or saw any pinching. I would also let him know that I will be very aware that someone has pinched and that I will fix the situation.I would also let him know that I will talk to the child and find out who and let her know what to do if she is hurt by a "friend" in class. Lastly I would let the father know I will tell the director of the incident so that they could be aware also.
