Weldon will be partnering with The Positivity Project for character education school-wide. The Positivity Project (P2) is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering students to build strong relationships and to understand, appreciate, and exemplify character strengths in us all. The movement is based on the tenets of Positive Psychology. Daily quotes from our POSITIVITY PROJECT will be read to the entire student body every morning to promote character development.

 

 

#OtherPeopleMatter 

5 Components of P2

Students will explore the topic by gathering information and researching in a variety of ways. Graphic organizers will be used to support student research and help teachers formatively support students. 

Students will make or propose a unique solution that synthesizes what they learned. 

Students will go through structured opportunities to reflect on their work, both formatively and summatively.  Students will be encouraged to use feedback to improve the quality of their product. 

Students will share their products with an audience, who will be active listeners who provide feedback

 

 

Monthly PASA pizza-lunch meetings will be held to identify areas of concern, as well as design activities that address the needs that students see as necessary.

Weldon Support Team members will take part in the monthly meetings, as they are an integral part of the positive culture at Weldon.  Site Administration, in coordination with Weldon PASA members, will report out and analyze progress being made to enhance our school climate and progress made within the PASA student group.

Raising Awareness: 

There are bulletin boards in the cafeteria focusing on diversity. 

Near the office , Weldon has a display case we use to highlight various cultures or to raise awareness. Students pass this window often, so it's a perfect visual and reminder to them daily. >>
