(Dealing with Suicidal Students)Video 1- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fiBsOfDiu8&list=PLLwIG1DObjQsooXBk2cvreMa4owK97KWM&index=134

This is a Music Video for the song "Nothing to Lose" by the Canadian (Toronto based Band) Billy Talent. This song and music video is one of the most useful classroom tools I could have ever been able to utilize in a classroom. It is certainly going to call for a debrief with the class and a heads up that they may find it revealing or telling of some of their own personal experiences. It is important as a professional that we remember we need to offer these kinds of lessons that make a positive impact in a big way that are also things they can relate to. I can't say I KNOW what teens listen to much these days, but I am positive there is still an inherent love for the local music scene and sometimes students overlook the most important details of something like this-I know I did until I actually sat down talking to a friend and then turned on Much Music later that evening-crazy how uncanny it felt and how much I felt at that time. This music video is a real life situation that takes the audience (teenagers) and forces them to face the reality that sometimes when they are bullied they NEED to talk to someone. For adults watching, its a wake up call-talk to your kids. BEST video for a class SAFEtalk.

(General Special education)Video 2-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYtUlU8MjlY&list=PLLwIG1DObjQsooXBk2cvreMa4owK97KWM&index=118&t=1s

This is a general video asking teachers to revisualize the way we look at the classroom. Shelley Moore is one of the leading developers of BC's redesigned curriculum. She is speaking to teacherrs about the students who need the most attention in the classroom. Using these students to create and develop the lessons/purpose and overall class climate around. Great PLC video for discussions discussing "the classroom" and how to make it more equitable.

(Differentiated Instruction)Video 3-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIu9C53WJjU&list=PLLwIG1DObjQsooXBk2cvreMa4owK97KWM&index=176&t=1s

This is a great video (about math instruction) but nonetheless, it is a great strategy in regards to showing the benefits to group discussions in classrooms. This is a video with a teacher's class demonstration and metacognitive monologuing. A great video from an American Blog Group. Based in Florida, this group is putting out valuble strategy demonstration resource videos for teachers to utilize and share for free. these are exceptional pieces of worthwhile PLC shareables for teachers who are intuitive, ccurious and/or in need of advice about how to differentiate instruction.
