IV. Activity

 * After forming your group, a member at the table should choose one scenario from the links below.
 * When asked to do so, choose either @Scenario 1, @Scenario 2, or @Scenario 3 to analyze as a group.
 * The superintendent (identified by the hat) should read the scenario aloud to the group.
 * Next, each member of the group should analyze the scenario based upon their unique identities and roles within the school community. The roles within the group are: superintendent, principal, assistant principal, IT director, itf, and teacher. A group discussion should commence- led by the superintendent at the table. __Do not simply go around the table giving your opinions, but instead challenge each other regarding your opinions and try to come to a common consensus regarding how to resolve the issue.__ Remember you are looking at each scenario through the lens of classroom management in a 21st century learning environment.
 * At the end of the session, we will small and large group discussion.

You may want to analyze the scenarios using the following guiding questions. From your viewpoint (identity) consider:
 * What feelings are triggered upon learning of this scenario?
 * How does traditional classroom management differ or remain the same in this scenario?
 * What biases or personal opinions separate from any district/school policies do you bring to the table?
 * How could district/school resources be used to help the teacher in this situation?


 * Within your discussion, take note of how your role is intersecting with the scenario(s). Later you will record these.**
