keeping each other accountable
Think about your trait and the whole class and how we will keep each other accountable to our values that we have created? What will we do if we see or hear someone not following our vales? What will be the best way for us to get people back on track?(Trust, Participation, Positive attitude, acceptance)

I think that if someone is purposely spurning the class, and not doing what ever it is that we set our to do, merely having a cheery demeanor won't solve the problem, and trusting them would be a little too presumptuous for the normal situation (i.e. Me seeing a person not running because he/she doesn't want to. Me: Don't worry, I get whatever it is you're going through. He/She: What are you saying? I just don't want to run). And to just participate further would neglect the problem person. So I think that these situations can best be solved through acceptance.

Our group's trait was acceptance. I believe that this is a very important one because if someone does not feel accepted as a part of the group, then they will have no motivation to follow any of the other traits. If any of us ever see someone not following this trait (bullying, picking on, exc.) then it is defiantly time to step in. If you yourself find yourself not accepting someone then maybe it would be a good idea to have a conversation with them, try to look past whatever is holding you back.

my group's trait was positive attitude. I think we can keep each other accountable by remembering to have a positive attitude and remember our other values that we have created. If someone is not following these values we should call them out on it instead of ignoring it. The best way to get back on track is to bring the issue to attention and work through it as a class.

My group had acceptance and I think if we see or hear something that is not accepting we kind of redirect them and say the right thing that should be accepting and help them realize everyone is accepted in this class.

My group is positive attitude. I think the most important way to make sure everyone has this is to encourage them. There are some people who just won't want to do anything but I think if everyone else is doing what they're supposed to and has a positive attitude while doing it, the people with a negative attitude will soon follow along.

My group is Trust. If i see something that shows that a person cant be trusted it would make it hard to be with them for teh remainder of teh class. I think we need to remind poeple that they have to show that they can be trusted so that they, themselves, can trust other poeple too.

My group wants to promote a positive attitude among the class. If one group member isn't contributing or showing a positive effort, I think it's best to place more responsibility on the person with each activity we do. Giving the person more responsibilities will make that person more engaged in whatever we're doing, and we will continue to exert positive reinforcement. Hopefully our positive reinforcements will bounce off to the other person and make them happier as they stay engaged.

My group is positive attitude. If i see someone not following being positive, I will tell them that they should just relax and take a moment to think and then I would remind them to stay positive.

My group trait is acceptance. I think it is a very important trait because people feel motivated when they know that they are accepted and they won't feel like people are watching and making fun of the person. If someone's not accepted, I think we should make it our problem and try to talk to that person and make him/her feels like they are accepted.

My group had positive attitude. I think the best way to keep everyone on track with that is just to have everyone come in with a positive attitude everyday. If people dont have a good attitude i think we just need to encourage them as best as we can. We need to realize that everyone has bad days but also this class works as a group and people cant make it all about them!

My group's trait was positive attitude. I belive that everyone should just come to class ready to go and with a positive attitude because it's gym and it's a fun and happy class. I think that if we ever see someone down in the dumps and displaying a negative attitude, we should bring them back up and help them get to that positive attitude we're aiming for.

My group's trait is positive attitude. If someone in the class comes with a negative attitude to class that day, I'd do my best to try and cheer them up and get them motivated to do whatever it is that we are doing. I'd try to convince them into becoming postive by being positive myself. Hopefully, my good attitude will rub off on them. The best way for getting people back into a good attitude is having a good one yourself.

My group has trust. Trust is a big factor in this class and we all need to trust each other in order for us to grow as a class. If people don't trust each other, that's a problem. We all need to come together and open ourselves up to really trust one another.

My group chose positive attitude. If you see someone who isn't happy about an activity we do, or someone who is feeling a little down, I don't think you need to call them out on it because there are more subtle ways of picking them up. For example, you can use motivational phrases such as, "You can do it!" to pick them up and put them back in an adventurous spirit.

I wasn't here when we did the activity, but I think that it is very important to have a positive attitude. If i see someone with a frown, I know that if I am happy, I can put a smile on their face by being encouraging and supportive!
ReplyDeletePeace, love, and Katie Posdal
My group had acceptance. If we see someone that is being picked on or someone is not accepting another person, I think we could do something about it, so everyone knows they are accepted in this class.

My group had positive attitude. I think in any places with people around, they all should have positive attitude towards each other. It's not a pleasure feeling to have when someone gives you a negative attitude. We should all respect each other and give positive attitudes to accomplish any challenges that we'll face in this gym class.

I wasn't here either, but to accept people, we need to be willing to talk to everyone. If we see someone that isn't engaged or doesn't have anyone to talk to, we simply need to start talking to them.

My group is acceptance. I believe that no matter what someone's opinions are or looks, etc, people should have others try and understand where they are coming from and not be so quick to judge. People are going to be different than others and that's just a fact of life, and people should respect that and support them for showing their beliefs, or culture, or whatever makes them unique.

If someone is out of line and not partisipating, it is our job as students of thge class to put the outcast back in line. Right now it is ok to be distracted but if they are goofing off while holding someone up and no one says anyting, the person the are holding can get seriously hurt. In conclusition I belive partisipation is the key to sucess and safty for this class

When people don't participate in the group conversations or activities, it really causes a problem and hurts the entire strength of the group (a team is only as strong as its' weakest link, right?). So, in order to solve the problem, there should probably be one or two people who try to persuade the person to participate with an open mind. People usually get more into something if they believe in what they're doing with worthwhile. If they don't participate afterwards, the entire group should have a discussion with them and see what they're struggling with so the entire class can move forward.

My group has trust. If we are going to have to repel down a 30 foot wall, we are going to have to trust that the person on top is holding the rope as tightly as they can to ensure safety. Participation is also a key part of trust. We need to trust that we all will have open minds and willing hearts to do whatever Mr. H. tells us to do (no eye rolling, etc.) so therefore we could get the job done quickly and easily. If someone does not trust another person, we could have a discussion to see what the issue is. I think that confrontation and discussion is the best way to handle an issue, especially with trust.
