I believe it was difficult for Tracy because she wanted to fit in with the crowd. Once she decided to choose her path, life began to approach her very fast, even though I believe morally she knew the difference between right and wrong.
As the counselor, I would have asked Tracy, what was her plans after grammar school and then after high school. These two questions is what I would use to help her to re-focus on her future.
Final Exit Ticket
Congratulations! You have completed your course on Affective Education. How quickly the time has passed. Each week there was something new to read, process, analyze and evaluate. Believe it or not, I was learning right along with you. How could I not? Considering that many of you provided such rich professional insight. I am a firm believer that it is always good to look at material, theories, and educational frameworks from different perspectives. For that, I thank you. Nonetheless, every course has its highlights; those moments whereby things simply stand-out and make a lot of sense, which leads to our final exit ticket. Please answer the following questions, what was the “ah ha moment for you”? And as a result, what new knowledge have you constructed through our eight week dialogue on Affective Education that strengthened your confidence about teaching moral education?
Albert Bandura
Bobo Doll Experiment
Video Link to the Bobo Doll Experiment
Review the video depicting Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment, which looks at aggression, observational and imitative learning. Share your opinion on how or why this experiment fits (or does not fit) into a discussion about affective education. Be sure to support your opinion. This counts as exit tickets for weeks 5 & 6. I look forward to reading your posts.

The Stages of Moral Development
It has been noted that the Domain Theory was established in an attempt to "categorize behaviors into either a moral or social domain"(Freday, 2009), however prior classification systems, such as Kohlberg's theory of moral development, placed morality and social convention in the same developmental domain. Domain theory separates the two and goes on to highlight the differences in a child's development of each (Freday, 2009, para. 2). Do you agree or disagree? Post your views.
With that noted, click on the You Tube link provided. View the Kohlberg video that explores the stages of moral development and post your views and reations to the video in no less than a 100 words. You may use the book or any other reading from class to support your views. Just be inclined to cite your sources. I look forward to reading your post.

Eddie- I agree with you that Tracy succombed to peer pressure which led to potentially catastrophic results. I thought your description of how her choices put her life into fast-forward was indicative of the fast-paced world teens live in today. We, as future counselors must remember how peer pressure can impact our students.
