This past week was all about accountability!
After Mentor Monday and Tutoring Tuesday we went through an entire PowerPoint about accountability. Students from most classes seemed to correlate being accountable with being responsible which was great. They also learned that there are times in life when we are faced with a difficult decision...we can either admit that something was our fault and deal with the consequences or we can be dishonest, feel guilt ridden and then make the consequences 10 times worse.
We had great discussions about times where we did the right thing and when we did the wrong thing. We talked about how easy it can seem at the time to just push something off and not take accountability for it but in the end it is definitely worth it just to admit something, take accountability, and deal with the repercussions.
On Thursday I gave the students a couple different scenarios and it was their job to end them in both an accountable way and an irresponsible way. They had a lot of fun with it and made up some pretty funny stories. Here is an example of some of their work:
We can't wait to get this week started, see you next week!
