Mission statement

This weeks topic is Mission statement about our task to help special education kids. Our entire class should write Mission statements which we will use in our trying to help kids with special needs. We will try to help them by playing games with them during our seminar time. It will take only few minutes from our side, but it will mean a lot to them. 


Our mission is to help develop young men with active and creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and the courage to act on their beliefs. I want to try help for total development of each child: spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. 

I believe:

1. The change is an opportunity to progress;

2. That just a try from our side can help them integrate and to feel better;

3. That everyone must be treated same and with respect;

They did not choose to be born with disabilities, but they were and we need to try help them. It could be some of us, and that is why we need to try to understand them and to help them.

Leadership in its full meaning

I have been writing a lot about leadership, but last few days I learned in practice things I learned from books and teaching.

Leadership is not reading book and after you are done you say "I am a leader now". Leadership is about being involved. I do not say it is bad things to read a book, it is good but you should apply things you learn from those books to real life. My group and I have a task to research about some given subject. We were having problems because no one was steping forward and everyone was waiting for someone ellse to do their job. Now we started doing good, we organized and every person did its job. But we did it because someone said, this is not good we have to change something. And we did, and that is only a simple school task. In life you will have much more serious and important tasks and how will you accomplish them depend on how do you do small tasks as this one. Also to be a leader, you have to believe in your goal and things you do. And if you believe, than it will be much more easier to make decisions.

So whatever you do, even a simple task, always give your best and do not wait someone ellse to do your job and you will do good in life.

PDSA

I will write about new method I learned this week. It is called PDSA method. It stands for Plan, Do, Study, Act and it means exactly that.

PDSA method is used to help implement innovations and make changes and observe them. Plan part of this means that you should understand the problem and try to find opportunity in the problem. You should select your team and define all parts of problem or issue. Do part means that you should try to do something related to that problem, to make some change in the way things are done. After that you should Study. This part means that you observe results made from changes you made and trying to find the best solution. After analyzing the results, you should make final plan of action and to Act. In this part you should simply implement the solution you came up with as the best one, and if you did your PDSA good, things should be better. In PDSA, you can use lot of different charts and tables to record your results and to see what is the best solution. Using those charts you can follow the results and changes and decide what is good or bad.
