D168- Communities of Care
Performance Assessment – Task #4
INTRODUCTION
In this task, you will choose one of the two provided scenarios and discuss how you as a teacher
would respond to the student and the issues being encountered by the student in that scenario.
As a reminder, for the tasks in this course, the overarching term caregiver refers to anyone who
has responsibility for the care of a child, whether that is a parent, family, foster parent, or other
individual.
As a reminder, the overarching term stakeholder refers to a trained professional that is invested
in the welfare and success of a school and its students including administrators, specific teachers,
particular staff members, and identified community members.
SCENARIO
Scenario 1:Anthony
Six-year-old Anthony is the youngest of six children all living in a one-bedroom apartment. His
mother works two full-time jobs and is often gone 13 or more hours a day. His father left when
he was one. On the few occasions he gets to see his mother, she is either drunk or high on
whatever drugs she can purchase on the streets. Anthony is often left on his own and rarely has
any type of meal in the evenings.
He has been caught on several occasions taking food from his classmates’ lunches in the
coatroom, running into the restroom, and eating the food so quickly and violently that he often
chokes himself. He also has taken food off other students’ plates in the lunchroom. His clothes
are usually filthy, and he has an overpowering odor that prevents his classmates from wanting to
sit near him.
In the classroom, Anthony often sits in a circle with the other children around his first-grade
teacher, trying to read a page from a children's book. Within seconds, he has lost interest and
begins bothering other students by stretching out and hitting and kicking them.
A. Identify your chosen scenario and describe two issues the student in that scenario is
encountering.
I have chosen Anthony. Two issues that arise with Anthony both address his basic
needs. Anthony is not being fed and therefore lacking nutrients, and he is in the care
of an addict who struggles with alcohol and drug abuse.
B. Discuss how you would appropriately respond to the issues identified in part A by doing
the following:
1. Describe how, as a teacher, you could respond to and address the issues in a sensitive,
culturally responsive way.
