Today at the beginning of Teachers Cadet, we started off by putting a special note in two of our classmate’s pot. We do this so each student will always contain high self esteem. After we distributed our “pot notes,” we started on a packet called “The Self-Esteem Fraud.” The class got in groups and we all read it together. While reading the article, we went through and highlighted important facts along with picking a specific statement. We had to reflect on why we chose this statement and what it meant to us. Of course we answered questions in the packet, and they really made us think. Mrs. Sutusky always makes us answer questions that makes us think; it makes my brain hurt. It I never thought self esteem had such an impact on our lives. We all went over the questions together as a class and held the usual class discussion. The article described global and earned praise and why it is important not to give unearned praise. One student even disagreed with aspects of the article. In our groups, we made a T chart on the about the positive and negative effects of negative self esteem, and tell why. We had an extremely productive class today in Teachers Cadet. I am excited to see what tomorrow holds.
