Student Challenge
Students will be asked to give a presentation in class, of the teachers choosing. After the presentation, students should fill an evaluation form provided by the teacher. We will re-visit this habit in the month of May, where students will present again and evaluate their progress.
5 Things to help you find your voice.
1. Valuing your enduring qualities and unique traits
2. Owning who you are and understanding what is important to you
3. Living intentionally and authentically
4. Creating a life plan by visualizing your best life.
5. Embracing and harnessing your emotions.
