Do You Have Negative Thinkers in Your T1 Groups?

Many of our Title I students have negative attitudes about themselves, their environments, their school, and even their attitude towards learning.  I almost didn't post this article, but I know you realize that positive attitudes builds positive attitudes in learning and increased achievement in all areas of school life.  In this article, author Renee Jain, explains "thought holes" that we get ourselves in.  She identifies common "thought holes" and presents ideas to change them.  [Good for us too, if we find ourselves in one of these holes]
