I Am So Stealing This....

Jason Buell(Always Formative) wrote about Positive Deviants and Don't Break the Chain idea for the Soft Skills Convention hosted by Riley Lark at Point of Inflection. Riley's thought was to use the

conference [as] a great opportunity for us to share the way we bring out the shy kids in our classes, handle teasing, build confidence, create opportunities for leadership, and acknowledge the beauty and importance of the blossoming lives for which we are responsible.

It's a great conference that I look forward to each Satudary when the new "sessions" are posted.

One of the many things I'm stealing adopting and adapting is the idea I got from Jason. Students basically WANT to be good students I (we) can't just tell students what we want. They need to see it, do it, practice it. So here comes the Positive Devients. Positive Devients are examples of students doing what you want.
