Respond to the following scenario using the knowledge you have gained from reading Functional Area 8: Self.
In your classroom, you observe that your teacher-partner favors one student in particular. You often see the teacher-partner in the same center that the student chooses for playtime. At rest time, she only rubs that one students' back the entire time. She sits next to this student at the lunch and snack table every day. And she usually puts little treats or extra snacks in that child's bookbag. Your teacher-partner is kind to the other students, but she doesn't treat them the same as the favored child. What would you do?
I would constantly remind the person that there are other children in the setting that needs equal attention. He/she needs to rotate the time spent or be spontaneous.
Giving each child equal time will also help to develop a healthier relationship. This will help them to also realize that they are loved and further help to build their self confidence.
