Student Perspective: Leadership Challenge – Cheating

You are a high school student. The simulation focuses on your interactions with two of your close friends, Catarina and Joe. How will you address Joe's request for "help" in before he takes a test he hasn't studied for?

Note that while this simulation is from the perspective of a student, it is designed to enable teachers and administrators an opportunity to reorient their point of view to engage with challenges faced by students.

Your Role: High School Student
Timeframe: Several weeks in the first semester.
Challenge: Consider a friend’s request for “help” in preparing for a test.

Key Characters:

• Joe – a close friend
• Catarina – a close friend

Trade-offs to consider:

• Providing assistance in the moment vs. a sustainable solution.
• Getting an adult involved early in a situation vs. waiting until some time has passed.
• How to be courageous in dealing with difficult issues while at the same time demonstrating good judgement.
