In order for students to achieve and grow in this area, what do educators need to know and be able to do in terms of KASAB?
What do leaders of professional development need to do to support student and educator efforts?
Based on the Learning Resources this week, what types of professional learning strategies (process) might fit this content and the context at your study school?

income inequality (briefing note)

told them to remove themselves from my office. I was nice. I was polite. I didn’t scream at them … well not at first and only just a bit later. Who are these characters what is it that they want?” asked a confused and dazed Minister.

She asked me for a briefing note addressing income inequality in Canada and whether it has improved or worsened overtime.

“I am far too busy making money to write the note. Besides that’s why I have you most faithful Deputy Minister. As a policy wonk, she will also want you to talk about stuff like Gini coefficients, Lorenz curves, Piketty, the TD Economics piece and the hollowing out of the middle class … really? … I don’t believe that … not here in Canada, eh?

“Finally, she wants me to advise her if we should do something about it and if so what I would recommend in terms of policy initiatives that reflect Canada’s values and provides a bold direction to ensure whatever it is that we should ensure.

“Thanks most wonderful Deputy Minister. Now please remove yourself from my office so I can check and see how my stocks and bonds are doing … one can never have enough money,” said the wealthy and happy Minister.

Reflection paper

s is a Reflection Paper about a 63 year old male individual name Mr. Thibs. He was sentenced to federal prison for a duration of 18months. He was convicted of a white collar crime, something about stealing, laundering money from banks and transferring them to other accounts. He spoke about how afraid he was before beginning his sentencing. His family was traumatized from the experience, he then later divorced his wife and became distant with his kids who or now grown. FBI investigated this case for about Seven years before he was arrested and convicted.
Remember, a reflection paper is the student’s opportunity to add his or her thoughts and analysis to what has been read or experienced.
A reflection paper is meant to illustrate understanding of the material and how it affects the student’s ideas and possible practice in future.

Imagine waking up in the morning in your own bed, next to your spouse, starring at the ceiling wall and wondering to yourself that today, I am getting incarcerated. I will be spending the next two years in a federal prison for a crime that I was convicted for. I am getting placed with the most violent, heinous offenders in a federal prison.
Just give your thoughts and imagine if you was getting incarcerated. Not only are you getting effected, but also your family.
