If there is one thing I learned throughout this internship, its how to handle crisis and

conflict. I always pride myself on how to handle uprising situations but I learned that

handling this manner is different because politics and different parties are in

volved. As

an administrator, it's imperative to evaluate every situation as well as thorough

investigate. I had to deal with an uproar last week when a drastic fight broke out

between two middle school students. This incident escalated quickly because afte

r I

reviewed the cameras with the behavior specialist, we had to call the police which then

we were informed to call DSS because of an open case.

I honestly believe that the situation was handle properly but it broke my heart and I felt

extremely uncomfort

able when I was informed to call DSS. This is because DSS was

called on the scholar who was actually the victim in the situation. So one minute hes

being attacked by an aggressor then the next thing you know, he is being removed from

his home and family un

til further notice. Based on the information I learned, it was best

for his well

being to be remove but it sadden me that it was on the day that he was

attacked at school. I learned quickly that, you may feel uncomfortable initially when

handling a crisis

but its necessary in the long run.

being attacked by an aggressor then the next thing you know, he is being removed from

his home and family until further notice. Based on the information I learned, it was best
