Ms. O'Malley has a student named Tara in her second hour class. A majority of the time Tara is quiet and withdrawn. When reviewing Tara's permanent record, Ms. O'Malley is surprised to see a long history of academic success. Ms. O'Malley asks herself a number of questions about this situation, considers some possible outcomes, and plans several strategies to attempt to draw Tara into classroom activities. Ms. O'Malley is demonstrating her ability to: Select one: A. respect her student's right to educational privacy. B. accept the limitations of her professional position. C. make decisions that influence the course of her work. D. write better instructional objectives.

Teachers have the power to influence the direction of their work or their line of work where they can adopt strategies that may not be within their scope but part of teaching and learning to influence their work in a direction that will assist students to succeed irrespective of their situation.

Ms.O'Malley looked at her students to find out more about her and she further looked at the ways in which she can use her line of work to impact Tara in a positive and fruitful way.
