COUNSELORS CORNER
RESPONSIBILITY | This month we are talking about Responsibility. One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others.
Responsibility is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Strong.
Across grade levels students will be developing skills like focusing, organizing, and goal-setting.
Conversation Starters -
●Can you share or show what it means to be Responsible?
●How can we help each other practice being more Responsible?
