In a previous post I mentioned, that as issues came up, I would share them for feedback with this group. Something recently came up and I invite feedback. We screen students who are interested in being part of the study, by administering a few reading tests. If they read within the required range (3rd -5th grade) we invite them to be part of the study. Potential students are given my telephone number to call if they have any questions/concerns. One day, when I returned to my office a few hours after screening a student, and telling her that she had qualified, I hear a message on my voice mail from her husband wanting me to call him back to tell him about the program. I didn't know what to do. I did not ask nor receive permission from this student to talk to anyone about her. I decided not to call and to try to talk to the student and ask her what she wanted me to do. For a few days I looked for her at the adult literacy program and she was not in attendance. In the meantime, her husband called everyday, leaving a voicemail message for me. Before I tell you my concerns about calling/not calling her husband, and before I tell you what I did, I am wondering if anyone feels like sharing what your concerns may be if any, and if you would have called him back.
