Trustworthiness In School
vs. unreliability
Gaining the confidence of others by demonstrating reliability
To practice Trustworthiness I will:
- follow through with my commitments
- complete all tasks to the best of my ability
- keep confidences
- tell the truth
- anticipate the concerns of others
If you look at the “I wills” for being trustworthy, you are looking at the definition of what would make a good friend. It’s about following through on promises, honoring secrets, telling the truth and being your best and proactive. These are the activities that bond two people or a group together.
Creating a community within the classroom and the school is a key bully prevention strategy. Teaching students to value one another and feel connected to each other will create a trustworthy environment where students will care for each other.
This month focus on your trustworthiness to build up your relationships.
