ETHICAL PRACTICE SCENARIO #2
Dee, a student in her high school’s preschool program is sitting with her group
on a planning day. While they are trying to develop a lesson, several of Dee’s
teammates start talking negatively about another member of their group that is
absent. Dee listens for a few minutes and then questions the appropriateness of
making these comments publicly. Dee suggests that if they have a real concern
that the team should raise this matter in private with a teacher.
Questions:
1. What professional and personal qualities does Dee demonstrate in this
scenario?
2. Can these qualities be developed or fostered or are people born with
them?
ETHICAL PRACTICE SCENARIO #3
Two preschoolers, Kelly and Sasha, are playing a board game in their preschool
program. Bobby, another preschooler, who has been playing near them starts
talking to the girls and asks if he can join the game. Kelly shakes her head and
says “No way, we don’t like boys.” After a few moments he walks away to find
something else to do. A teacher overhears this exchange but says nothing.
QUESTIONS:
1. List at least three (3) questions that a teacher could use to challenge
Kelly’s comments.
ETHICAL PRACTICE SCENARIO #4
A parent of a preschooler asked staff not to allow her child to join in on the
singing of Happy Birthday to other children as this practice conflicted with the
family’s religious beliefs. The parents were shocked to see a photo of the group
displayed on the notice board which included her child singing Happy Birthday
to her child’s best friend. She complained to the Preschool’s director about the
matter.
QUESTIONS:
1. If you were the director, how would you respond to the parent’s
complaint?

religious beliefs?
