Encouraging Send-Offs
My students are just starting to realize that there's a world beyond their playground so I try to connect their lives with the world of work on a daily basis. At dismissal, I always write 'Goodbye, future ___________' on the chalkboard. I fill in the blank with a top of the line profession that would require a college education, leadership skills and lots of training. I hope to encourage them from settling for entry level work and moving their imaginations off of the typical professional athletes' block.
