Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 13: Teaching Strategies in your Introduction to Teaching: Making a Difference in Student Learning. Then read the scenario provided below and incorporate the Six Pillars of Character as you address a possible solution.
Scenario
Mr. Y is a new teacher in his first 90 days of employment in his district. He has made friends with many staff members and invited them to visit his social network page. On his page, Mr. Y has listed quite a bit of personal information.

The colleague notified the principal of this information.
