How do you engage students?

1) How we TALK about people
Do you always try to use positive language
to talk about and describe people, instead
of negatives and stereotypes?

Reflective thinking A different](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050718/5e16e8679637a2725b090f7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2) How we UNDERSTAND people
Do you always try to learn about someone’s
strengths and potential above their
weaknesses and limits?

3) How we WORK with people
When working with others, do you focus on
developing solutions and assets, instead of
just supporting problems and deficits?

4) How we INVEST in people
Do you allocate your resources – money,
time, etc. - on enabling people to thrive,
instead of just supporting them to cope?

5) How we BELIEVE in people
Do you always hold out an aspiration for
someone’s future that is the same you
would have for yourself and your family?

6) How we INVOLVE people
Do you always involve the person you are
working with to use their experiences to
develop their own solutions?

7) How we CHALLENGE people
Do you always listen out for and respond to
the advantaged and disadvantaged thinking
of others?
