Daily Blog Challenge Day 257/365
One thing I noticed during this past softball season is that it is very easy to focus on your individual skills and get stuck on individual stats. Often we become consumed with what we are doing or how we are doing that we do not look at how we can help our team.
In sports this means only worrying about my stats and what I am doing. It also tends to make individuals more judgmental towards what others are doing wrong.
In schools this means only worrying about my classroom and what projects I am doing.
It is often easier to think about ourselves as individuals. Progress is easier and many difficult situations are avoided. However, this is not where the most progress can be made. More importantly, our students need to see us modeling team work and cooperation.
How do you make sure you are staying focused on building a team culture instead of focusing on individual achievements?
Thank you for reading.
