Peer Mentoring is Beginning! Blog Post #3
Our Peer Mentoring Program will begin tomorrow. I am excited for all of you to experience this wonderful learning opportunity. Words cannot express my passion for mentoring. I truly hope all of you will enjoy it as well.
Blog Post #3 is all about creating a Force Field Analysis. You received a handout on this assignment. First, identify 6-8 reasons why you are conducting this project. You were then asked to identify 8-10 barriers that would cause issues for your planning. Next, cross out the barriers that you can't control. Pick 3-4 to focus on and write about how you can control these issues and your plans to ensure you will accomplish your goals.

OPPORTUNITY!
Who is still looking for a Leadership Project to lead and/or participate in?
I had a teacher contact me from our neighboring elementary school looking for some high school students interested in helping with his chess club after school. The kids are ages 4th-6th Grade and many of them are just learning or want to learn how to play chess.
It's once a week from 3-5 p.m. in this teacher's room. I'll fill you in on more details soon. You can stop in my room to find out more about this amazing opportunity. In fact, if you take this project on (the leader), I will allow you to use it as one of your projects all year long. BONUS!
Other project ideas:
-painting inspirational quotes around our school hallways
more to come soon!

WELCOME LEADERSHIP STUDENTS!
Welcome to my new and improved Leadership Blogging site. The purpose of this blog is to post assignment prompts, information, news, updates, extra credit opportunities, and hopefully some photos. Additionally, I'd like to link this to our Leadership website that already exists. Any takers on that?
Until then, your biggest assignment is to get your blogs set up and email me: sfitz@me.com to let me know your URL so I can link it up on here.
Once you are "official" you can start blogging about your ideas connected to your first Independent Project. Remember, you are leading two and helping with 3 this semester. I may ask you to blog more often and sometimes it won't have anything to do w/ your IP. this is a way we can communicate and respond outside of our notebooks and sometimes outside of class. Plus, everyone else can see and comment on what you are doing.
On another note, let's remember to keep comments appropriate online. This is a professional learning tool, let's treat it as such.
Finally, don't forget to take pictures! Post your work so people can see what you've been working so hard on! (videos may be appropriate too if they match your work or the prompt)
Thanks, everyone! (and happy blogging!)
