February Portrait of a Graduate
Beginning this year, North Kansas City schools are implementing Portrait of a Graduate initiative. This program is designed to teach students different life skills that they can use to be successful. This month’s skill focuses on communication. Communication is demonstrated by using effective listening skills to determine the meaning in a variety of contexts and articulate their own thoughts and ideas. Students will be making intentional decisions to show they’re actively listening to a speaker, using verbal and nonverbal cues to meet their needs, and respecting the perspective of others. Nashua will encourage communication by teaching classroom lessons, recognizing positive communication, and setting weekly action steps. Collaboration can be supported at home by talking about what it looks like and sounds like to actively listen and appropriate ways to respond.
The action step that we have focused on this past week is:
I can use nonverbal gestures to communicate needs or wants
Next week's action step is:
I can respect the perspectives of others and how they react to a situation
