Great post! The link even works, good job!
ReplyDeleteI think I will be able to apply the activity that dealt with your weaknesses as an individual. We all have weaknesses and I think it is important to recognize these and work on them to be a well-rounded individual. This activity will require the students and me to focus on a weakness and set goals on how to improve it for two weeks. After two weeks then it will likely become a habit and they will improve. I know that I will pick procrastination as my goal to improve, because I deal with it constantly with my master’s classes and it adds a lot of unneeded stress.
ReplyDeleteAnother one that I will try with some individual students is I will try to like the unlikeable students. There are a few students that are difficult to work with in our school, and I liked the idea of showing them more positive attention when you can. It will be tough to not make it obvious, but I really think some of these students really need this attention. If they can’t get positive attention, then they will definitely figure out how to get negative attention.
Thanks for the link. There were a number of good ideas to think about and things you could try with your individual family and some with a class.
