Professional Issue – Annotated Bibliography

TO-DO LIST (Step-by-Step) – I am attaching the instructions in a document as well.

Step 1 Choose a Professional Conflict Issue

Pick a specific professional issue related to conflict in:

• Education

• Leadership

• Ministry

• Workplace

Examples they gave:

• Teacher burnout

• Student discipline

• AI in education

• Parental conflict

• Curriculum disputes

• Classroom autonomy

• Faculty workload

• Student engagement

• Accommodation plans

• Bullying

• Remote learning

Important: You cannot choose just conflict resolution it must be a specific issue.

Step 2 Write Professional Issue Identification

You must write:

• Clearly state the professional issue

• Briefly explain the context (where it happens)

• Identify 3 key conflict issues within the topic

• Example:
  If topic = Teacher Burnout
  Then 3 key conflict issues might be:

• Workload expectations

• Lack of administrative support

• Work-life balance

Step 3 Choose a Biblical Conflict Story

You must:

• Choose one conflict story from the Bible

Must be:

• From the same book of the Bible

• No more than 2 chapters

• Must involve human conflict

Then include:

• Bible citation

• Short explanation of why it connects to your professional issue

Examples you could use:

• Paul & Barnabas disagreement (Acts 15)

• Moses & Pharaoh (Exodus)

• David & Saul (1 Samuel)

• Jacob & Esau (Genesis)

• Mary & Martha (Luke)

• Nehemiah conflict with leaders

Step 4 Annotated Bibliography (BIG PART)

You must find 7 scholarly journal articles.

Rules:

• Must be published within last 5 years

• Must relate to your professional issue

• These will be used in your final paper later

• For EACH article include:

• Title

• Author(s)

• Journal name

• URL or DOI

• 23 sentence summary explaining how the article helps understand the issue

So you will write 7 short summaries.
