Okay, so praise pod is now helping schools focus more of their attention on positives. It's a good start but what constitutes 'good' and who chooses?
Alan November's website posts some interesting thoughts on the topic. Intrinsic motivation and persistence are put forward as two key qualities for success in a changing global world. Likewise 'empathy' is described as the single most important quality sought from HSBC (see Alan's podcast section for these and other discussions)
What would our schools look like, and who would be top of the class if pupils were graded primarily on their understanding of others' feelings?
And let's not forget the staff too; performance related pay based on evidence of empathy towards colleagues, learners and parents?
