LIM: Student Accountability & Quality Tools
Student Accountability - 3 Starter Steps
Step 1: Listen with your eyes, your ears, and your heart. Connect to prior learning around Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood and model Empathic Listening with role play. Prompt student thinking around nonexamples of Empathic Listening by asking “How will we know if we our partners aren’t listening with their eyes, ears, and heart?”
Step 2: Encourage. Invite students to share their own definitions of and personal experiences withencouragement. Connect to prior learning around the Emotional Bank Account, distinguishing between helpful words and hurtful words when discussing what encouragement “sounds like.” Capture the helpful words and emphasize that they can be used as language frames in future WIG Sessions.
Step 3: Make connections. Connect to prior learning around Habit 6: Synergize. Introduce the power of the “What if…” in generating wild ideas or 3rd Alternatives. Brainstorm possible “What if…” questions we might ask when our partners are struggling to meet their goals.
