https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri Sharing Ways to Grow in Our Values en-us 2020-01-06 14:51:14 UTC 2020-01-06 15:56:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427975853 We need to keep being well prepared for our own commitments. We need to keep showing our students love and caring.

We can get better if we challenge ourselves to look beyond ourselves and support the team (ex: be in the hallways, support others...). Commit to team goals (house/department obligations). Communicate what you need (longer house, less department meetings, support to fulfill obligations...) and listen to others regarding what they need.]]> 2020-01-06 15:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427975853 https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427977627 We need to keep being empathetic and providing direct feedback to each other.

We can get better if we challenge ourselves to truly get to know new team members and make them feel truly known. Adults need to feel like they belong as well.]]> 2020-01-06 15:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427977627 https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427978920 We need to keep speaking with honesty, fairness, and thoughtfulness.  We have great intentions of following our values.

We can get better if we challenge ourselves to follow through on our actions aligning to our core values. ]]> 2020-01-06 15:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427978920 https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427979151 Affirmation

Having courage takes energy, and we are operating on constant fatigue. It's really hard to cross the threshold of staying quiet vs having courage because we don't always know what repercussions to expect.]]> 2020-01-06 15:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427982329 https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427982923 Statement of affirmation: 
- DYB was the highest rated core value because as individuals we are incredibly dedicated and go the extra mile for our students, and as a team we see and appreciate the hard work out co-workers are putting in.

Statement of challenge: 
- Are we overworking and burning out? Interesting to note that curiosity is the lowest core value…are we falling into the "grind" without making space for innovation?
- We need to work to not get caught up with rankings…if we are not the "#1 high school" in Denver, or do not have the highest data in the network, this shouldn't feel like a failure. We need to practice more positive self-talk and celebrate our own achievements, not just those of the team.]]> 2020-01-06 15:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hugo_josh/yhd6y8o264ri/wish/427982923
