Fly Five

As a staff we will continue to work through the PD over the next few weeks and finish all of the modules for the Fly Five Curriculum. The ambassadors will also be attending PD focused on implementation to help guide us through this first year with the program.

Tentatively plan to begin Fly Five the week of September 23rd. More information to come on this....

Fly Five focuses on five core competencies that we will also focus on for our ACE monthly topics.

• Cooperation - The ability to establish new relationships, to maintain positive relationships and friendships, to avoid social isolation, to resolve conflicts, to accept differences, to be a contributing member of the classroom and community in which one lives, works, learns, and plays.
• Assertiveness - The ability to take initiative, to stand up for one’s ideas without hurting or negating others, to seek help, to persevere with a challenging task, and to recognize one’s individual self as separate from the environment, circumstances, or conditions one is in.
• Responsibility - The ability to motivate oneself to act and follow through on expectations; to define a problem, consider the consequences, and choose a positive solution.
• Empathy - The ability to recognize, appreciate, or understand another’s state of mind or emotions; to be receptive to new ideas and perspectives; and to see, appreciate, and value differences and diversity in others.
• Self- Control - The ability to recognize and regulate one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to be successful in the moment and remain on a successful trajectory.
