Research
Below are resources to read or to watch. Some are digital, some are not. Any with an asterisk are required for you to use. Otherwise, select 3 or more to read/view/absorb. Additionally, using appropriate college-level research skills, you must find a resource not on this list that gives you additional insights to this topic. A professional interview with an expert-in-the-field is an appropriate resource. (3 of mine and 1 of yours is the required minimum...feel free to use more resources...see me if you want to substitute some of yours for mine) > from Ellen Smith: > I went to the Maine Resiliency Network Meeting today—they are doing great stuff-relating to ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and Resiliency. Look them up at http://www.maineaces.org. As some of you know, after showing the movie Paper Tigers at the Midtown Cinema in November, I have become convinced that this is more important in our communities than almost anything else. It will help prevent or decrease many awful things such as substance abuse, suicide, criminal behavior and many others, and it can give us longer, better life expectancy. These “Mainers” are way ahead of any curve I have seen. In the next month, I am aware of about 10 showings on Paper Tigers in central Maine. I have started to pull together a grass roots group to get this moving in Central PA—I have included those of you in this group on the email.

Reflect
Create a reflection (write/record/document) in your personal digital classroom management kit that captures your reflections on your research. It should be apparent from your documentation that you actually took in information from the 4 sources, i.e. don't just list the book you read or the video you watched, but include some actual information from the resource. In your reflection you can agree and/or disagree with the author/creator(s) of each resource.

Resolve Part I
Now that you have this information on this classroom management topic, what are you going to do with it? How will you apply it to how you want to manage your classroom? Describe one or more proactive approaches to this topic that you hope to incorporate into your classroom management.

Resolve Part II
Now that you have this information on this classroom management topic, what are you going to do with it? Even though you have a great proactive approach to dealing with this topic, there will come the day when the unexpected situation will arise in this area. Using the given scenario or creating one of your own, describe one or more reactive approaches you might take. Be sure to document how/why you know this is an effective reactive technique (i.e., cite one or more of your research sources).
