Beliefs Questionnaire & Stress Survey

Welcome back! We are ready to get back to work following our week-long spring break.
Quan's Beliefs Questionnaire from 6th hour.



Prior to the break, we continued our discussions on belief systems and the ways our beliefs influence our lives. We completed a questionnaire that helped us explore the various beliefs we hold about ourselves and the world around us (see picture for details). We used this information to play "Find Someone Who," a Kagan structure that had our scholars moving around the classroom. Each had to find five other individuals (who did not sit at his or her table!) with whom they shared specific beliefs (and correlating scores).

Ericka's questionnaire from 4th hour. 




It was interesting to see friends who previously assumed they held the same beliefs realize just how much they differed! Likewise, it was great to see new connections being made as our scholars realized who did share their exact beliefs.

We also took some time to evaluate stress and the way we deal-- or don't deal-- with stress. This was great information to have as we are about to start PARCC and CMAS testing.

We look forward to getting back into the swing of things-- stay tuned for more!

  1. Wow, wish I had this last week. Our 9 year old grandson is terrified of his first CMAS test. I need to help him distress. Can you send this to me? Good on you for doing this timely exercise....
