Pieces of Me – The essential starting point of making connections with others is a solid sense of self. In this session you will walk through the seven pieces of who you are by looking at where you’ve been, the place you find yourself in now, and what you see ahead of you. We’ll walk through the entire strategy together so you can immediately apply it to both your personal and professional endeavors. Pieces of You – As we make connections, giving and receiving feedback naturally becomes part of that working relationship. In this session you’ll walk through a strategy that will help you and your students to give and receive supportive feedback. You’ll be able to immediately apply this strategy in your classroom as well as apply it to personal and professional relationships.
