Opening discussions revolved around how each of us had experienced some level of disorganization in our careers – a definite sense of being able to relate to this scenario!  But once we  delved deeper into the questions and re-read certain passages, we did question a couple of situations that contributed to the chaos.  Ethically, the ECE’s failed to provide Dory with a safe environment nor did they demonstrate caring that would build trust with Dory.  The phraseology of  “needing to talk to Dory later” and  lack of locating the attendance sheet were the issues our group found questionable.  We thought it was possible that the “later” statement may be something Dory associates with punishment or negative impacts  (which made us  all feel a tug at our hearts).  And the issue of the lost attendance is the area we identified as in need of improvement.  A simple solution is a clipboard that can hang on the wall while in the classroom but is portable for outdoor activities.  Finally, we all agreed that this did not warrant an official incident report but it would need to be written in a classroom incident log or journal.  We also agreed that we would disclose the incident to the family.  This would be part of the integrity  we are asked to practice as well as building a trusting relationship between the early learning centre and the family.  Besides, chances are that would be the first thing Dory would talk about when asked, “So, how was your day?”
