100% Accountable

 

December's Mindset is 100% Accountable - reminding students to choose to be responsible for their own happiness and success.

100% Accountable teachers us that we are not victims of our past, our future is not predetermined, and our lives are what we choose from this moment onward.  With a focus on recognizing fears and excuses, this mindset allows us to break down barriers, freeing our minds and focusing our energy to take the critical steps toward our goals.

The focus for Week 1 is Own Your Life.  If you give away your freedom to act and think for yourself, you become a victim.  It happens when you allow the opinions and actions of others to matter more than your own.  It's important to own all aspects of your life and actions, and to take responsibility for your situation and every moment of your life.  If you do, you will be in control, rather than allowing others to control your life.

This reminds me of many conversations I've had with students - behaviors in the bathroom, disruptions in the classroom, or choices on the playground. He was doing it, too is heard a lot!  This is a great opportunity to talk with kids about owning their lives - and making good decisions for themselves.

Have a great week!
