RELATING
Challenge Points and Choices
The plot is thickening at Eagle Elementary.
Yes, the people and situation issues you identified in the CARING stage are important. However, in RELATING, you consider other layers and factors of concern that may influence your change strategy.
What do you think?
Will sharing their experiences, insights and expertise help Eagle’s educators diminish Jay’s aggressiveness? While doing so, will their efforts also increase the safety of Eagle for other youngsters?
Is Jay’s problem solely one of learning how to manage his school behavior? Or, do his observed actions at school point to other considerations?
Or, on another plane, is common concern about Jay a good starting point for Elaine and others to bring about broader change at Eagle Elementary? If so, what should they target? Who is resistant to the effort? What do you think is causing them to behave that way?
Do you have enough information now to decide what change is needed? If not, what else do you need to consider?
Now that you’re full of questions, let’s get started on RELATING Challenge Points.
Each presents you with four sets of response options. After reading the first three choices, pick the one that sounds best to you.
If none exactly hit the mark, please jot down what you would chose on your own notepad and select Choice D. Of course you can refer back to the Scene 2 narrative Scene 2 – Good Elementary Counsel.
After you click on an answer you can read what experts chose.
Select one of the Challenge Points to begin.
