REGULAR CHECK-UPS ARE IMPORTANT TO GOOD HEALTH

WE MUST MEASURE UP TO THE SCRUTINY!

RAISING THE BAR

• BELIEVE IN OUR KIDS
• DONT UNDERESTIMATE THEM
• WHAT VALUE HAVE WE ADDED TO THEIR LIVES

27
HIGH EXPECTATIONS

• Research shows us that providing clear
  expectations and regulations
• Engaging students in a challenging curriculum
• Conveys to our kids
• The work is important I know you can do it I
  wont give up on you

Conversely

• Setting our expectations too low conveys to our
  kids
• YOU REALLY ARENT SMART ENOUGH
• THIS IS ABOVE YOUR HEAD
• DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH IN LIFE

29

• Progress lies not in enhancing what is but in
  advancing towards what will be.
