Feb 12-18: Strategy

Objective

The word for the week is determined; 1 : firmly resolved; 2 not weak or uncertain. Determined is to be intent, purposeful, resolute, resolved, set, committed. The foundation for any solid strategy is having the determination to see it through.

But equally important, you must be realistic. We have to make sure the students understand the importance of learning to enjoy the process. They will fail. But they have to learn to be creative and figure things out. They must be determined to learn to move past the mistakes and celebrate small successes. They must be determined to continue to move forward towards their goals. They have to figure it out.

They must figure out who can help them. Then, they must be determined about what they must do to progress and when they need to do it. In the end, everything is up to them.
