The SmileSafe Promise - Lifetouch plays a critical role in the recovery of missing children. We take this job to heart; we provide every child we photograph a SmileSafe Card for their family, and we store an image that can be used in the event a child goes missing.

CKH WORD OF THE MONTH ~ SELF-DIRECT CKH WORD OF THE MONTH ~ SELF-DIRECT

What does it mean to Self-Direct?

Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on things to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes, and actions.

Why focus on self-direction?

Self-direction teaches personal responsibility. Learning to self-direct teaches students to take responsibility for their own actions.

Self-direction in action:

Monitor and adjust. Provide students with regular feedback and opportunities to self-assess progress toward goals to make adjustments and improvements in their behaviors.
