12. Scenario 1 • Your student, Connor, comes back to the classroom at lunch all bloody and bruised. He kicks the chair, yells, and swears a blue streak. It turns out that he got beaten up by a bunch of classmates outside at the corner store. • Scenario 2 • An angry father stomps into the principal’s office and demands an explanation for why his son was bullied in front of his classmates yesterday. The student was pushed onto the floor and kicked in the chest. • Scenario 3 • You are a teacher-leader who wants to implement an after-school program (any program you want). How do you get support and involvement from other teachers on staff? • Scenario 4 • A student in your class clearly has not met the requirements necessary to be in your grade level. He is two years behind in your subject area. The student thinks he doesn’t have a high mark because he isn’t the teacher’s pet. The parent is sitting in your office, irate because their child is not passing your subject.
