Editor's Notes
Students will play a chutes & ladders board game to better understand the consequences of good and bad choices.
For students: “Build the foundation of your future – competency model” For teachers – this will be the end result of learning their personal qualities/academic strengths
Trying to find the commonality of the mission statements
ALSO – try writing a mission statement for someone famous that you know. i.e. Shaq, Mrs. Prater, the President, one of the president’s daughters, etc.
Not everyone is meant to be president; there’s nothing wrong with that, but everyone should be able to identify their own goals and values – and then support those by supporting themselves!
