In my previous post I referenced an article in Fox Business by Michael Stallard, president of E Pluribus Partners titled “6 Needs to Thrive at Work”. I decided to apply these six needs to the classroom environment to explore how we can improve our working environment at school and maximize student engagement and success. The six needs are:
· Respect
· Recognition
· Belonging
· Autonomy
· Personal Growth
· Meaning
In this article, we will take a look at the second need, recognition.
We just completed our third and final awards assembly of the year. As my 8th graders received their awards for academic honors and attendance, I began to wonder if they were the same students who received those awards the previous year and the years before that. If that is the case, then a small fraction of my students are receiving this level of recognition. How are the larger majority of the students who remain watching from the bleachers being recognized?
