Curriculum adoption, insubordination, teacher conflict
Description
How do you discipline someone for insubordination when what they are doing is working? This film explores the challenges of curriculum adoption and instructional innovation. Driving implementation of a new curriculum or instructional approach can be tough and met with resistance if what was previously installed was working. In this film, the school leader finds herself dealing with a teacher who is a respected, master teacher who get results but refuses to follow mandates to implement a new curriculum. Do you squash a record of success or push forward with unproven, but required, methods?
Character Chatbots
The AI Character Chatbots provide an opportunity to dive deeper with a character from the film. You can use the bots to learn more about the characters, their reasoning, feelings, or to understand more about why they did what they did in the film. Approach the conversation as you would with a human being. If you are having trouble getting started, try beginning with this prompt: “I watched the film. Can you tell me more about how you were feeling when you did….”
Each of the character bots are listed below under their corresponding film name. The bots are powered by ChatGPT. You can access the bots with a free ChatGPT account but you may be limited to a set number of interactions with the free account. Click the link below to access the character chatbots.

MORAL Dilemma Coach Chatbot
The MORAL Dilemma Coach is an AI chatbot that is coded to walk you through each step of the MORAL Framework. The bot will prompt you each step of the way. At the end of the experience, the bot will provide a summary of your performance on the MORAL Framework and list areas of strength and areas for further consideration and refinement. The more you type and interact with the bot, the more useful your report will be at the conclusion of the interaction.
Click the link below to get started. When the bot launches, start the conversation with the prompt: I want to work through [FILM NAME]. For instance, if you watched Pedagogy and Prejudice, tell the bot, “I want to work through Pedagogy and Prejudice”.
