Private Victory vs. Public Victory


Our group discussed the path of teaching Private Victory before Public Victory, due to the nature of teamwork that is required. In some of Covey's lectures, he even mentions that he has, at times, taught the seven steps in reverse order.

What order do you think is the best for teaching Covey skills?

What Public victory skill do think is most difficult for teens, in general, to accomplish?

Where do we go from here?

A group of WD High School staff met during the week of Dec 7-11 to begin discussion of Hawk Habits, year 2.

So, as you look at the details provided about the Public Victory scaffold in the pictures below, where do you think we should focus? What are the three most important things that we need to introduce this year and build on for next year? Please comment below (you need a gmail account)

Synergize (Habit 6)

Seek to Understand (Habit 5)

Win-Win (Habit 4)

Private Victory

 

What do you think is the most important thing that we have learned about private victory for teens in the last year?  What are two things that you remember from Hawk Habits 2007?
