What kind of person do I want to be?

Self-reflection is a skill, and it takes time and effort to obtain. I want to share a program that I used with my fifth-grade class, (and can be used throughout elementary school) to work on the question “What kind of person do I want to be?” was called PassageWorks. The program can be found here: http://passageworks.org/.

PassageWorks provides educators and school leaders a practical, relationship-centered approach to transforming the culture of classrooms, schools and districts. For over two decades PassageWorks’ practices, principles, and tools have been used to foster student engagement, resilience, social and emotional intelligence and academic success. By supporting the inner lives of teachers and students, the PassageWorks model integrates cognitive and human development to create meaningful and effective classrooms.” ~The PassageWorks Institute
