Hello everyone! It is that time of the year again, time for a tPOL. Here are some of the key points of mine!
In this presentation of learning, we have been given the task to show how we represent 3 different success behaviours. Agency and two others. So I decided to choose Communication and Collaboration, and Self-Regulation. Here is the document that we were given.
So I will quickly describe them for you guys, so pretty much success behaviours are things we aren’t graded on, but things that will help us get better grades. For example, Agency is the most important because it is all about getting the work done, but the others are all very helpful bonuses.
Here are some Agency goals that I have for next year:
- I want to be able to ask my teachers, parents and peers for help and accept and revise their feedback if it is applicable by midterm next year. I will achieve this by asking my “feedbackers” to look all my stuff over!
- I don’t want to hand anything in late, all school year. I will achieve this by putting Things notifications for the night before, and doing my best to have it done the night before, but if it can’t be, it will be done by 9:00.
These will help me very well currently, and in the future!
Here is another goal for Communication and Collaboration:
- In every group that I am in I want to be the one who is responsible. I will do this by taking charge of the group and focusing on highlighting everyone’s ideas.
It is very important to get good at leadership, as shown from a little expert from my Dragons Den pitch:
Other than my physical fitness, rowing has taught me many soft skills that I am sure I will use later in life. Some great examples are leadership, communication, and teamwork. Whoever is bow seat in a scull, or boat, is responsible for the boat. I prefer using the word responsible instead of in charge, because I feel like good leadership isn’t just about telling people what to do, it is helping them get there, and being ultimately responsible for what they have done. Anyways, leadership is very important to experience, because you get to understand the responsibility that the leader has.
Do any of you guys have an image you think of when you think of balance? Here is the one I think of.
If we do a little Apple Pencil magic, we can see how my life balances out right now.
Anyways, thank you everyone for reading my short TPOL post, I will see you all later!
