I always follow the codes and conduct of a responsible teacher. Unfortunately, I
have had to report incidences of abuse in a home to social services. I work with
the resource teacher and parents to try to be sure I adhere to the guidelines of
students with special needs. I also try to model the behavior that is appropriate in
an educational environment.
Other teachers will consult me when they are having issues with certain students
and I will do what I can to help.
