Staff Spotlight on Global Outcomes
Ashley Silva; Elementary School Counselor
Students practice Perseverance
In a recent Social/Emotional Learning lesson with fourth graders, Ms. Silva used fun "Minute to Win It" games for students to practice perseverance. This global outcome is where learners strive to take on challenges knowing they have the capacity to grow.
Ms. Silva said she was impressed at how students recalled their recent lesson on growth mindsets to help the persevere and try different ways to achieve their goal. She is hopeful that students will develop this skill further and carry it over into their daily lives, practicing perseverance in all of their classes, on the playground, and at home.
Growth Mindset
Ms. Silva reminded students to call on their growth mindset skills to help get the cookie from their foreheads into their mouths.
Problem Solving
Along with perseverance, students also illustrated problem solving by finding ways to save their cookie from hitting the ground.
Collaboration
Through observation and conversations, students worked together to find ways to best complete the task at hand.
