An Introduction to Efficacy

Welcome everyone, and thank you for a fantastic first day of class!  You were attentive, honest, and fun.  I know we are going to have a great 12 days together...and most importantly, a fantastic 4 years at Kirkwood High School.

Here's a quick recap:

Efficacy is...
The power to develop - to get better, stronger, and smarter at anything that can help you build a quality life.

Efficacy Principle #1 - Development is the foundation of a quality life.

Efficacy Principle #2 - Smart is not something you ARE.  Smart is something you GET.

Efficacy Principle #3 - Developed people are educated and principled.

We talked about Homer's famous epic poem, The Odyssey, and viewed a movie clip about the Trojan War.

Your Principal, Mrs. Miller, came to meet you and give you some valuable information about being a successful student at KHS.

What is one important thing that you learned from Mrs. Miller's talk?  Please add your comment before the end of the day on Thursday, June 23.

    The most important thing that I learned is the we should always stay active because it will keep up our games if we want to play.

    Same as Jasmine , but when a teacher tells you to do something she shouldn't have to ask you twice.

    Even though we are moving up into high school things do not change. We all are responsible for our learning character respect and relationships.
