Yes, character does matter! Our 2nd graders in Mrs. Jablonski’s class reflecting on their positive traits are showing us a great way to build leadership capacities! #LearnersLeadersCitizens

Character matters! Today, find some time to think of 3 positive traits about yourself. Write them down and appreciate yourself! #usmfac @usmsocial

Understanding what it means to “be seen” and how to really appreciate others…what a great lesson for our @usmsocial second graders! #LearnersLeadersCitizens

[Katie Jablonski @MrsMeinholz]

What does it mean to "be seen" and how does it make you feel? These second graders know! Take some time today to appreciate someone and see them for who they are. #usmfac @usmsocial

Feedback is a gift! Learning to give and receive feedback is one of the ways to build capacities in student leaders.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people ask for your feedback, it's a mark of respect. They value your knowledge, skill, or taste.

When they don't hesitate to give you feedback, it's a sign of trust. They have faith that you'll take it as an opportunity to grow, not a threat to your ego.
