Instructor Resources: Acuity Awareness Report (AAR) Section

Welcome to the Crisis Response Media Hub—a curated section of the M1 Basic MAB website designed to bring real-world urgency and relevance to your training sessions. This resource combines scenario-based videos and actual news reports of high-acuity incidents to help instructors guide learners through the complexities of crisis recognition, response, and recovery.

Purpose of This Section

This media-rich library is built to:

• Reinforce MAB principles through real-world context

• Help learners identify early warning signs, acuity cues, and response breakdowns

• Encourage critical thinking and team-based reflection

• Bridge the gap between theory and practice in high-stakes environments

What’s Included

• Crisis Scenario Videos: Professionally produced clips demonstrating escalation, de-escalation, and team coordination

• News Reports: Verified media coverage of workplace violence, public safety threats, and behavioral emergencies

• Facilitator Prompts: Discussion questions and analysis guides to help instructors lead meaningful conversations

Instructor’s Role

Use this section to:

• Frame each media piece with clear learning objectives

• Facilitate structured discussions using Acuity Awareness Reports (AARs)

• Encourage learners to explore decision-making under pressure, nonverbal cues, and post-crisis recovery strategies

• Promote a culture of safety, empathy, and preparedness

Sample Discussion Starters

• “What escalation indicators were missed or ignored?”

• “How did the responders’ body language affect the outcome?”

• “What alternative strategies could have changed the trajectory of this event?”
