Character Education, For All Subjects, Oral Communication

Students are in the midst of figuring out who they are and how they can influence the world. Some feel helpless because it seems that they were born into a difficult situation or have experienced an unfair share of pain and heartache. Others feel almost superhuman and think they have the power to change anything they want. The truth of self-determination is really a lifelong mystery to solve.The theme of this conversation is Self-Determination.The CASEL competency associated with this conversati

The ability to work in a team is touted by teachers, employers, and coaches as an indispensable skill. Alone, people can accomplish great things but when people work as a team the potential for success skyrockets. Students know this in theory but when it comes to accepting the reality of working with others who have different styles and motivations, all of a sudden, teamwork feels like a heavy burden.The theme of this conversation is Teamwork.The CASEL competency associated with this conversatio

It’s logical that our childhood would have an influence on our adulthood, but what is a happy childhood and exactly how much does it actually affect who we become and what we do?This is an interesting discussion to have with ESL groups of mixed cultured adults because they have different childhood experiences. I’ve tried to gather as much research as possible (without making it too “heavy” or controversial) to allow an interesting conversation.The study’s source is linked in the notes section of

Let me start by mentioning that I have been happily married for the past 24 years.

While it is true that education is valuable to all of us at any age, it is also true that our energies and resources are limited and must be used wisely if we want to change the world into something better. Some say that children should be the focus because their minds are more easily shaped and influenced; others suggest that adults-- who are actually in positions of power and influence-- should take front-and-center importance to our efforts to change minds and improve the world.

Created by

Character Education, For All Subjects, Oral Communication

When students hear the mantra “You can make a difference in the world,” there’s often an eye-roll. Students struggle to see how the actions of a few can have big consequences for many. The fallout of this attitude is that many won’t decide to participate in that school-wide fundraiser, start that club, or vote in the next election. The impulse to remain apathetic is strong but, as Mead reminds us, it just takes a different way of thinking to liberate us to act.The theme of this conversation is C

Students learn a great deal about respect inside the classroom walls. Not only do they pay attention to how their teachers and classmates treat them, but they also carry expectations for how they should act in return. Mutual respect in the classroom is a noble goal in theory, but hard to achieve because either the student or the teacher is unable to hold up his/her end of the deal. Without mutual respect, learning is elusive and the classroom is quickly gripped by misbehavior and personal confli

Setting life goals is an activity we encourage young people to do. The thinking goes like this: if you set goals for your future, then you will become happier and successful because you know what you want. That being said, though, it's very unclear just how we should plan out our lives, whether it is better to set small, attainable goals or shoot for long-term goals which are harder to see but inspire us to do the daily work necessary. Goal-setting is an extremely important skill in school, work

Adults sing praise of the importance of patience. The advice to kids usually goes something like this: if you are patient and work hard over time, you put yourself in a position to accomplish great things. Success never comes easy. Life is a grind and you should develop a growth mindset to persevere through it. Though sometimes a person's life experiences seem to teach the opposite lesson; that sometimes going after what you want quickly and aggressively will lead to even greater accomplishment
