MandatedReporting

Research
Below is the link to the Maine's Mandated Reporter Training. Take the training (read the slides, use the arrows at the bottom or the navigation bar on the right to move to the next slide), take the quiz and pass it (retake if necessary), make a .pdf file of your certificate at the end that shows you successfully completed the training. Additionally, using appropriate college-level research skills, you must find a resource that gives you additional insights to this topic. A professional interview with an expert-in-the-field is an appropriate resource.

Reflect
Create a reflection (write/record/document) in your personal digital classroom management kit that captures your reflections on the training plus your research. It should be apparent from your documentation that you actually took in information from both your training and the resource.

There is no "resolve" on this one. You are now a trained mandated reporter. If you suspect any of the abuses you learned about while serving in an official capacity (including being a practicum student), you must report it. In your case, you must report it to your mentor teacher and/or school counselor.
