Wesleyan College Teacher Education Department

It is with a very heavy heart that we say goodbye to one our former education majors Kristina Battles. Kristina passed away yesterday and will be missed dearly by those who knew her. She was witty, smart, hard working, and one of the most generous souls around. If you knew her you had a friend for life. Sending our prayers to her family and reflecting on how her life impacted those around her today. Rest in peace Kristina. You will be missed!

Motivation and reward Pt.2.⁣ How we acknowledge people, especially children, not only determines whether or not they develop the capacity to be internally driven, but it also determines their ability to solve problems beyond what they currently know. ⁣ ⁣ If we want to build, strong, healthy kids that turn into strong, healthy adults, or if we want to build strong, healthy employees that turn into strong, healthy teams , which create strong, healthy cultures. We must take the time to see the people around us acknowledge the things that we see with a surgical level of observation that creates an awareness in them of the things that perhaps they don’t see in themselves. ⁣ ⁣ If you feel your purpose in life is to create a better planet, then Your job is to see peoples potential that is unseen in themselves , and show it to them so that they may thrive to greater heights. ⁣ ⁣ One love for all. See people ❤️. credit @hubermanlab
