Teamwork Skills

3 of 10

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your options, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You can synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of education you can’t obtain by working alone.

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any question you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to you, to the teacher, and to other, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir France Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

"When I was teaching basketball, I urge my players to try there hardest to improve on that very day to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important  in life than in basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. by applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period if time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. it begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."
-John Wooden 

The coach is correct because, a person can change drastically in time for a good objective and if they have there mind into it. For example, myself, before I use to be a drug user, disobedient child and a total little prick. But I change for good, now I am starting to get good grades, better character in my self and respect for my elders, and i change because of a single person.

"The Three Never"
Never lie
Never cheat
Never steal
-John Wooden

The statement that the best self proclaim best coach did is actually some how correct, because a lie can start little and may grow and grow until it becomes a lie big enough to cause a lot of trouble. If you cheat, sooner or later the truth is going to come out, and the only affected is going to be you. Stealing may not seem so bad but if anything that life has thought me, is to never ever mess with karma, what comes around goes around

Selecting Your Course

Part 1

The academic rigor of your high school course s is an important factor in college admission process. College admission officers see your high school course schedule as a blueprint of your education. They’re looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build on in college.

To create that foundation, takes at least five solid academic classes every semester. Start with the basics and then move on to advanced course. Challenge yourself is a part of what makes school fun; but you need a firm grasp of the fundamentals before going to more advanced work.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a large group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include someone who understand the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task. When? Try meeting regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensure that everyone attends.

"Success is dependent on effort"

-Sophocles, Greek dramastic

The stament is correct because with effort anything can be accomplished. For example, I was scared in football because i was the smallest there. But know I am confident because with effort, I am not only small, but am also getting stronger because I am putting effort in to the practice so i can make it to the team.

“Choosing the Right is always the right thing to do.”

--Alex Linares

The stament is correct because doing homework is better than watching a TV program, or you can evolution and do both at the same time even if it sounds wrong. The point is that doing good in school can help you a good job with enough money and time in the world to watch as many TV programs or football game as you want.

"Its better to be alone than to be in a bad company"

The post is correct because no will prefer to be in a car with a drunk driver than a conscious driver. Maby it would be more fun to be with the bad company but it's safer to be with the good company.
For example, would it be better to wake up in an unknown place than to wake up safely at home with everyone that loves you and would never try anything bad that would hurt you.

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strength to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

"So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the "in-group," we lose sight of things that are far more important."
-Sean Covey

The stament eas clearly quoted by a wise man because popular kids have to make a sacrafice to become popular. Many are draged down to drugs just to be popular. But they dont think because if some is your friend just because you do drugs than why have enemies if you have friends that will drag you into drugs. For example many in jail are there because they tought they were hot stuff but now they are worser than dogs in a cage

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Convey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teen isn’t any walk in the park, either. In this book, The Habits of Highly Effective Teen, author Sean Convey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problem they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivations? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teen is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principals and ethic that will help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While its all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives,” teens watch what you say, “covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most-if not all- of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore, requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience- this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

…is comfortable and confident with written communication

 Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

…is willing to be a member of an online community.

9. … don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch effort known as cramming. You’ll learn more and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever, huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you fell rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelon the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a higher score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why eve do it. Plan ahead, prepare a head. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.
