Tort Law


Bobby and Rachel were playing basketball on the school playground with a brand new backboard and rim built and installed by ACE Sports. When Bobby, with a boost from Rachel, tried to slam dunk the ball, he injured his wrists cutting them on the rim which had small pieces of metal sticking out from it.
There were no teachers or supervisors on school grounds at the time and the cuts were so severe that Rachel could not wait to call for help and was forced to take Bobby to the hospital on her bike. When they arrived at City General hospital, Bobby was immediately seen by a nurse who wrapped two large towels onto Bobby’s wrists. Nurse Williams told Bobby to put pressure on the cuts while she tried to get a hold of his parents. Bobby was then directed to wait in the waiting room while his mother was contacted for insurance information for payment and consent. Bobby’s mother was reached 75 minutes later. Because of lack of insurance Bobby was transferred to a local county facility for treatment.
Once seen by the county emergency room physician, Bobby was referred to Dr. Andrews for immediate surgery. Dr. Andrews determined that due to delays and extent of injuries Bobby’s right hand/wrist would need to be amputated. The surgeon made all arrangements and the surgery was completed 3 hours later. When Bobby awoke with mother at his side, he was told that the left wrist was amputated in error and that he would require additional surgery to amputate the right wrist.
As a result of the circumstances in the hospital Bobby was left with both hands/wrists amputated.
Using the background materials as a foundation, research other sources and prepare your response to the following questions:
Evaluate and discuss the potential liability (negligence or other torts) of the various parties in the scenario involving but not limited to Bobby, ACE Sports, the nurse, the surgeon and City General. (Avoid simply restating the facts/scenario. Incorporate them into your discussion.)
Be sure to discuss the elements of negligence as they apply to each party separately, and also discuss the application of EMTALA.
Define comparative negligence and discuss its application to the analysis of liability.
Discuss joint and several liability.

Philosophy of Education



Paper instructions:
A teaching philosophy is a summary statement in which one reflects on how they teach and why. For this third component of your SLP, you will begin to develop your teaching philosophy by reflecting on and responding to the following:

How do you teach?

Why?

Importantly, your discussion of “Why” you teach this way is to draw from your insights toward learning theories, as well as your insights on learning, education, and knowledge – that you gained in the previous two module

Constructive Teacher


Paper instructions:
In the previous module you began to develop your personal teaching philosophy by examining how you teach and why. Building on your work from the previous module, reflect on and respond to the following:
Do you consider yourself to be a constructivist teacher? Explain why you feel the way you do.
Where do your teaching practices “fit” along the constructivist spectrum spanning from radical to conservative?
Do your current teaching practices reflect your views on constructivist-based teaching and learning? Why or why not?

AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT


As an exemplary teacher in the Ideal School District, your classroom has become a stellar example of a constructivist-based teaching and learning environment. With a rather conservative-to-moderate view of constructivism, you provide your students with learning experiences in which they construct their understanding of particular topics through planned group activities. Generally speaking, your teaching practices reflect both a social and cognitive perspective of constructivism.
In conjunction with your teaching practices, you do not assess your students’ learning via traditional, written, question and answer types of tests. Rather, you assess your students’ learning through portfolios which include various types of authentic assessments.
As would be expected in the Ideal School, your methods of assessment have gone without criticism for quite some time – until now. In particular, your supervising administrator has just informed you that the parent of one of your students is quite upset that his child’s semester grades will not be based on the traditional written unit exam(s). This particular parent is quite upset about your methods of assessment and wishes to meet with you and your supervising administrator to discuss this further.
While your supervising administrator supports your methods of assessment, she has agreed to this meeting. In preparation for this meeting, she has asked you to prepare a report that supports your methods of assessment – over that of the traditional written test.
This brings you to your fifth case assignment…
Your Task
Prepare a 3 page research-based and professional practice-based rationale that supports the use of authentic types of assessments. (By “professional practice” we mean the literature written by educators who describe how and why they use authentic assessment methods).
Please examine multiple strategies of authentic assessment, including student-centered and teacher-centered scenarios, as well as self-assessment, surveys, and portfolios.
This rationale is to clearly address each of the following:
1. What is “authentic assessment”?
2. What is a specific example of an authentic assessment that you would (or do) use in your (current or future) classroom?
3. How is authentic assessment different from traditional assessment measures?
4. What are the benefits / advantages of authentic assessments over traditional assessment measures?
Assignment Expectations
Your research and professionally-based rationale is to clearly illustrate your understanding of authentic assessments – as depicted in the background information reading.
Use a number of resources from the research and professional literature to support your claims. In particular:
You are to use a minimum of 2 articles / resources from the literature (These may include the readings provided for you on the background information page).
You are to appropriately cite and list your supporting references.
The structure of your submission is to demonstrate your ability to present and support your insights in a clear, organized, and professional manner.
