Event #2
For my second event I chose to do
something that I have observed at my internship. My internship is at Central
Falls High School, and I work with children who have behavioral issues. This
schools disciplinary actions are not like any school I have ever been to or intern
shipped at before. When a student gets into trouble they are not just sent to
have detention or just easily getting suspend. They are placed in a room where
are to calm themselves down and fill out a paper of what they have done wrong.
They are then asked to sit in a circle to discuss the issues that they were
having that day. This is like a mini counseling session. When they are calm
they are allowed to go back to class and continue their education calmly.
The event I discussed above I believe
to be connected to Resilient Kids video. These students are counseled to calm
themselves down. This way they do not cause more trouble than they already
have.
