Learning 4Life Success: Hey, your ATTITUDE is showing!

Hey, your ATTITUDE is showing!

Around here, that could be a GOOD thing!

This is the booklet we used.

No matter what kind of job we get, it is helpful to understand how to succeed. We got a booklet from the HR (Human Resources) office at our school. The book is really for the teachers and staff. But Sister Patrice got the ok to get a copy for each of us.

We did a few pages each day. We talked about what a good work attitude looks like. We did self-evaluations in the booklet too. A good attitude is very important for keeping a job. It also helps you if you have problems with a co-worker or your boss.

We also talked about what to do in case of harassment. Harassment is like bullying. It is words or behavior that you do not like, It makes you feel uncomfortable. It might scare you or confuse you. Harassment can be about race, gender, clothing, disability, or almost anything.

If you feel like you are getting harassment, you have to do four things.
1. Say "Stop. I feel ___ when you ____. I need you to stop it."
2. If that does not work, say "I asked you once to stop. Your behavior is harassment. If you continue, I will report you for workplace harassment.
3. If it does not stop, go to a supervisor.
4. If you need to go further "up the chain of command" you should so that because you do not need to suffer harassment at work.

We made notes together so we could then decide on our mini-poster topic.

After we finished the booklet, we used our graphic design skills and our notes from reading. We made some "mini-posters" for a hallway display. We will also put the mini-posters into our portfolios.
