Contract Classification. For employment with the Firestorm Smokejumpers—a crew ofelite paratroopers who parachute into dangerous situations to fight fires—applicants mustcomplete a series of tests. The crew chief sends the most qualified applicants a letter stating thatthey will be admitted to Firestorm\'s training sessions if they pass a medical exam. JakeKurzyniec receives the letter and passes the exam, but a new crew chief changes the selectionprocess and rejects him. Is there a contract between Kurzyniec and Firestorm? If there is acontract, what type of contract is it? (See pages 196–197.)7-3A)I believe the two parties have entered into a unilateral contract, and the new crew chief isviolating the terms of the contract by changing the selection process.The offeree has performedhis end of the contract by passing the tests and medical exam, therefore the offeror should beforced to admit Kurzyniec to the training sessions.

What guidance can you find in this section of the Code of Ethics? What specific items in the code are helpful in guiding your decision?
The guidance that I found from the Code of Ethics was P 1.7 “We shall strive to build individual relationships with each child; make individualized adaptations in teaching strategies, learning environments, and curricula; and consult with the family so that each child benefits from the program. If after such efforts have been exhausted, the current placement does not meet a child’s needs, or the child is seriously jeopardizing the ability of other children to benefit from the program, we shall collaborate with the child’s family and appropriate specialists to determine the additional services needed and/or the placement option(s) most likely to ensure the child’s success. (Aspects of this principle may not apply in programs that have a lawful mandate to provide services to a particular population of children.)”. The specific item from the code that guided my decision was, “If after such efforts have been exhausted, the current placement does not meet a child’s needs, or the child is seriously jeopardizing the ability of other children to benefit from the program, we shall collaborate with the child’s family and appropriate specialists to determine the additional services needed and/or the placement option(s) most likely to ensure the child’s success.”

What do you think an early childhood educator should do to best resolve this situation? What action(s) should you take in resolving this situation?
An early childhood educator should change her “teacher strategies, teaching strategies, learning environments, and curricula; and consult with the family so that each child benefits from the program”. This will help determine if there is a need that she is not able to meet for the child, then, the educator will be able to speak with the family to establish the best solution for the child. The educator in charge should keep careful documentation about the child so that she will have appropriate indications in determining the best solution.
