TQFE - college lecturing qualification?

[RUMPEL]

Hi everyone,

I would appreciate your help as I am pregnant and have a tiny toddly and my brain has gone to mush!

I am currently studying professional development unit and have to analyse a 'critical incident' within my practice. I have chosen to go with an incident which involved a student being an addict and my being unaware of it. This caused aproblem in class one day. To analyse further do you think I should look at ethics, confidentiality policies or what? A key issue is reflective practice. I am at a loss to be honest!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you spoken with your tutor?

Most courses have an ethics procedure that you must follow.

TBH I would be very wary with this one. When i worked as a student adviser at a uni, we helped a student with a case very similar to this , where his tutor had used him as a case study as part of the tutors course. If i remember correctly, the tutor had not submitted an application to the ethics committee. I think the tutor was disiplined and it made an article in THES.

Definately go back and seek advice would be my inclination...

Ta for the info. It is not a case history situation (have doen that already) but I take your point. I think I wil go with something a bit easier at the mo' - as my brain is mush and my toddly is cross teething so hardly any sleep. I am going to go with appropriate level of course material for that level of student - did an R & E project on this sort of thing so have some info already. Any other input would be much appreciated though.
