Making+It+Personal

People can really only build on strengths. Take some time to seriously reflect on your own strengths.
1) At your table share what strengths you believe are necessary to enact any educational reform.

2) In trying to effect change within a school system, are different strengths necessarily dependent on whom you are trying to influence? Teachers, coaches, principals, superintendents? If so, how are those strengths different?

3) What strengths do you wish you have (assuming that none of us are Superman….or Superwoman)?

4) Tell Us a Story. Take some time to reflect upon a success you have had as an educator. Prepare the telling of a story from a third person perspective with you as the protagonist. “Once upon a time there was an IU person who encountered an unusual problem…..” Share the story with the people at your table.
