Week_3_Activities

Swayed Supervision (Whole Group)
Teachers spend a lot of time with their students. Good teachers not only give their time, but also share their interests, talents, opinions, and personal experiences to teach students. When do the boundaries of the teacher-student relationship blur? When do the student and/or teacher become vulnerable? Who is responsible for decreasing the vulnerability and providing protection? The case study below describes a plausible event in a public high school. In your review of case study, think about how the teacher first began to stray into an area of danger. How would your opinions change if you knew of a rumor that the alleged victim received a failing grade from the teacher the previous year?
