1.  Students with special gifts and talents may benefit from an inquiry-based learning approach for many reasons, but planning for and implementing inquiry learning may be taxing to teachers. Imagine you are a teacher talking with a colleague about inquiry-based learning. Your colleague does not think the benefits of the approach outweigh the challenges. What might you say to argue otherwise? 
2. Compare and contrast inquiry-based learning with other teaching approaches discussed in the video, such as reading to get information. Do you remember using inquiry-based learning in your elementary or middle school years? If so, what did you like about it? Was anything frustrating to you about the approach? If you didn’t use inquiry-based learning, do you think you would have liked it? Why or why not? 
1.   In this video, you will meet Amy, a gifted sixth-grade student who has both a visual and hearing impairment. Amy’s teacher, Mrs. Golliver, describes how she adapts her teaching style, as well as special permissions that Amy has in her classroom. List the modifications that Mrs. Golliver describes and appraise whether you think these modifications support Amy’s social development. 
2.  As you watch the video, take note of Amy’s skills and how she successfully participates in class. What are some ways that the teacher can effectively support all students as they welcome Amy into the classroom and help to support her accommodations?
Recall your experiences in middle school classrooms. Identify any needs you had as a student and whether you were supported in advocating for those needs. How might you promote students’ self-determination in your classroom?

Classmate Response 1- Laura
What do you think is the most important characteristic of a school counselor? What’s the most essential characteristic school counselors have that supports a caring/supportive school climate for all students? 
One of the most important characteristics of a school counselor is empathy. Empathy allows school counselors to connect with and understand the diverse needs and experiences of their students. It enables them to genuinely listen, validate feelings, and provide support, creating a caring and supportive school climate for all students. Empathy helps school counselors build rapport, cultivate inclusivity, provide more effective support, and it encourages students to feel comfortable expressing their emotions. While there are other important characteristics, empathy in my option is a cornerstone characteristic for school counselors. In addition to empathy, communication skills are equally crucial for school counselors in creating a caring and supportive school climate. Effective communication involves not only listening with empathy but also conveying information, guidance, and encouragement clearly and compassionately. It enables counselors to establish strong rapport with students, parents, teachers, and administrators, facilitating collaboration and trust-building within the school community.

Classmate Response 2- Kayla
Describe experiences related to any of the following: School structure/program development. 
This week I got to be a part of a PLC meeting which is once or twice a month for counselors. For my district the school counselors do this in a zoom meeting with 3-4 other counselors that are at different sites but same level since at the elementary level we only have one counselor per site. A PLC is not a just a meeting; rather, it is a way to use a collaborative process that includes evaluating student data, establishing goals, reflecting on practice, discovering new tactics, and making plans for actions. First, we did a self check-in to see how the school year has been going and went over the agenda. Then each counselor shared a positive about something there doing at their school site. I appreciated how they all supported one another and weren’t afraid to talk about struggles, needing help, needing ideas and working together to find solutions. We also went over data and compared last year’s August to this year’s August of behavior incidents and students in tier 2 interventions. Our numbers had decreased while another sites sightly increased and we discussed possible reasons why and provided feedback for better outcomes. I really enjoyed this kind of team support especially when I am a first-year counselor to bounce ideas off of and gain from there experience/knowledge.

Do you think HSAs can help improve health care cost, quality, and access? Why or why not?

The United States has arguably the most advanced health care in the world. And yet, a large proportion of Americans do not have access to this care due to its high cost. Providers, consumers, and the government have long searched for a way out of this paradoxical situation. HSAs offer one solution.
The American health care system is complex. A part of the population has access to health care through Medicare and Medicaid. Another part simply pays for care out of pocket. A substantial proportion of the population uses third-party payers to pay for care.
Payers have reacted to the rising costs of care by introducing various gatekeeper mechanisms. These have not been popular with consumers who see them as restrictive. The American population is aging and the need for care is likely to increase over the next decade.
While the earnings of health care professionals have been increasing, insurance premiums have also increased. Among hospitals, many are non-profit organizations offering substantial charity care. But for-profit and non-profit hospitals alike must show return on investment to remain viable. Providers must also factor reimbursement policies of payers into their decisions, sometimes even clinical decisions. These groups of stakeholders—patients, providers, payers, and the government—have different goals and different responses to the rising cost of care.
Based on your understanding, answer the following:

In your opinion, can HSAs be aligned to the expectations of all these groups?
Do you think HSAs can help improve health care cost, quality, and access? Why or why not?
