How to Communicate with RESPECT When We Have a Problem
Our lessons this year have focused on RESPECT. Last trimester, students identified their heroes, thinking about why they admire a person (not just wealth and popularity), and trying to incorporate those admirable qualities into their lives. We asked, �Would my hero be proud of me right now?� Students who can name their heroes are more likely to set positive goals for themselves because of their role models/heroes. Read More...
