@addeese @rae_brouwer I like the plan; however, given the volatility of the situation, the unpredictable will happen quickly. If Mr. S is touring the school & absent from the post for 15+ mins, it's likely he will miss time-sensitive information, ultimately jeopardizing everyone's safety. #EDLD502
@hobbs_chere @grizzlycbiggs Yes, I believe everyone at school is his priority, too. He is better able to attend to their safety if he knows what's happening. He can assign a staff member to check common areas and bathrooms for stray children. #EDLD502
CS 10.3-Hostage SItuation. W/ the justice perspective in mind, Principal Stewart should make an announcement over the PA system advising staff to "contain and teach" in their classrooms, so as he can remain available for further communication w/ Dr. F, Deputy D, & others.#EDLD502
@grizzlycbiggs ...he'd be in the office near the phone. In a school this size, it likely has some sort of PA system, in which information can be disseminated at-large. He needs to calmly instruct the teachers to close and lock doors and close the blinds. #EDLD502
@dmillerntk Yes, it seems absurd & improbable that a school of this size wouldn't have such policies. As you mentioned, access to differing ERCM plans are available online. The uni Mr. Stewart attended ought to add this course/content into their curriculum. He graduated unprepared. #EDLD502
CS 10.3 - Hostage situation. According to Shapiro and Stefkovich, when tackling a complex dilemma through the use of the justice perspective, decision makers ought to turn to policy for "ethical guidance." Clearly, the absence of an emergency play is the chief issue. #EDLD502
@f1rst_ord3r While emotions would be running rampantly through every child and adult, I argue that Mr. S would be most valuable to ensuring the safety of himself and others if he continued to manage the communication post and disseminated information as he deemed necessary. #EDLD502
@dmillerntk In the text, it says Deputy Davis "requests that a district employee come manage the parents." Given the violent turn of events, Principal Stewart's best bet is to remain available for communication. Managing parents leaves everyone involved extremely vulnerable. #EDLD502
@rae_brouwer Rae, I like your idea of having Mr. Stewart advise his staff to keep off their devices and phones, in order to free up access to the cell tower. #goodthought#EDLD502
CS 10.3-Hostage Situation. As w/ any school district personnel, the #1 concern during any given school day is to keep & maintain student safety. Thus, w/ that professional demand looming, Principal S. needs to lock the doors & ensure nobody leaves or enters the building. #EDLD502
@addeese ...and with that said, one could work him/herself into a state of exhaustion trying to appease to all of the varying needs that comprise an entire district. In short, ethic-of-care must be factored into the equation, but not given principal consideration. #EDLD502
As stated in the study, Dr. Horne convinced Charlie through a threat, "you're either part of the problem or part of the solution," but also Dr Horne -'in sensing Charlie's lack of enthusiasm'-stated the proposal was "in the best interest of the school district." #EDLD502
CS9.2-It sounds clichรฉ, but complex situations mandate that the students' best interest be the focal point of which decisions are made. In this study, tackling the testing issue through an ethic-of-care lens, may not have proved any better outcome. #EDLD502
CS9.2-When considering the ethics of care, Charlie should have been a bit more proactive in the intial board meeting where these changes were dicussed. He could have saved himself a lot of grief had he given proper thought to his existing program. #EDLD502
(2/2) CS9.2-with a brick wall. He'll give instructions on how to complete a task or set of tasks, and then ask for him//her to summarize what needs to be done. The employee can't articulate a thought beyond the fact that he/she doesn't know what to do next. #EDLD502
