Circle of Control
Be Proactive
At Kenwood Leadership Academy, all student and staff have been learning and reflecting on Habit 1: Be Proactive. There are many big ideas in "Be Proactive."
They are:
1. Stop, Think, and Act based on principles and desired outcomes.
- Stopping and thinking helps us make more proactive decisions. Even though it may not feel like it, we always have a choice in how we respond. Ask your child about "Stop and Think."
2. Use Proactive Language
- The way that we think and speak has an impact on how we feel and act. This week instead of saying "I have to" or "I can't," try saying, "I choose to" and "I will try."
3. Focus on your Circle of Control (Influence)
- We have been learning about what is and isn't in our circle of control. We only have control over our own actions, attitudes, and moods. Effective people choose to focus on their Circle of Control. Ask your child about their LEAD Time learning around Circle of Control!
4. Become a Transition Person
- Learners may or may have not been introduced to this concept yet. However, we all have the opportunity to stop negative patterns by choosing not to let negative behaviors impact our own attitude and actions.
Student-Led Conferences
The purpose of student-led conferences is for students to take the lead in their learning by showing how they set and accomplish their Wildly Important Goals (WIGS). Conferences are about celebrating growth! Our goal is to have 100% participation!
