A Quiet Moment meets Self-Esteem in Adult Education classes

A Quiet Moment meets Self-Esteem in Adult Education classes: Let’s take a glance at the Calmness of Self.

Such Quiet Moments calm mind and body, therefore, allow the learners to focus on studying. These Self-reflecting moments increase learning energy for the whole day. Experience shows that adult learners long for such quiet, relaxing moments which are, for most of them, the only time in the entire day they have for themselves. Only after a few days of this practice, learners are “hooked” and are looking forward to begin their day away from stress and burdens. And your days are stress less and joyful! Believe me, it works.

How to create a calm and learning conducive class environment? Continuity is the magic answer! Yes, daily implementation of such Self-Esteem Tools exercises boosts your learners’ Self-Esteem, and the continuity manifests it. Remember, each new habit needs at least twenty one to twenty nine days to manifest itself.
How can a quiet Moment in the Morning do the trick? Discover your own Self-Esteem power, use Self-Esteem Tools worksheets and give your adult learners the calmness they deserve. Begin your day with the three smileys. The WHAT? Yes, ask your students to list three things of gratitude and three of joy. Oh wait- that’s not all. You ought to also include a visualization. A WHAT in my classroom???

Adult Education Teachers- this one is for you !

I AM the change Ghandi envisioned me to be;
I CAN do the change President-elect Obama inspires to do.

And here are the tools to do so: The Self-Esteem Tools for Teachers!
What is an Adult Education Teacher? Someone who gives and shares fully of her/himself and who knows how to build trust, and recognizes the learner’s needs and learning styles early on. It is someone who listens to Learners’ joys and problems throughout the day. This very special someone knows enough about the law, healthy food, drivers license to give some constructive hints, advises on how to find a job, consoles sobbing ladies and calms down men, and still is able to have a kind word for everyone in class and finds ways to motivate learners not to despair or to give up. Recognize yourself?

Then, give your adult learners the one thing they need and that make your life calmer: Build high Self-Esteem. Plant the seeds of Self-Reliance. How can you achieve this? Let us help.
Learn GREEN! Stay home, click and be trained the GREEN way!
Our specialized Adult Education Teacher e-courses are comprehensive.

Kids standing up for their belief in Senator Obama and are bullied in school ...

Teachers, parents... are our kids becoming our teachers?! Let's fight ignorance together with our kids. Read about the young, strong girl in California and the courageous boy in Pennsylvania who both not only stand up for their belief in Senator Obama, they stand up for what's right, against the bullies in school!
http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/ankeottowolf

Read my response to the mother of the East Coast boy:
"Dear Mom, what you can do is talk to the principal, and other like minded parents, and initiate the "Self-Esteem Tools in Schools Campaign" in your school! Senator Obama had requested information about the SETS Campaign because it meets criteria of his education act before Congress. AND everything you and I believe in!
So, support your son by going one step farther and counter the racist kids' ignorance, open their minds, influence them positively, show them kindness, and START the Campaign in your school. Your principal, teachers, and parents will be grateful to you both. You have my full support, just email me:
anke@self-esteem-tools-for-teachers.com
"Read my Obama blog about the eleven year old girl; she now is the First Self-Esteem-Tools Campaign Student Representative. Wouldn't your son like to become a Self-Esteem Youth Leader standing up for what he believes in, knowing he has national support? Maybe we can find a local sponsor for the campaign as well as media interest. I am 100% with you!
My respect to you and your son!"

The Self-Esteem Tools in Schools Campaign is a strong, positive movement. Join us!

The Self-Esteem Campaign

Very soon we're launching the Self-Esteem Tools in Schools Campaign. What is this vital campaign all about? It is about supporting teachers in a fresh approach to building high Self-Esteem in students which results in increased attendance and decreased violence.

Our teachers are up against diversity of situations at every moment of the day. So, they need help and assistance to have the freedom to truly teach, to convey knowledge. We believe and know from experience that boosting kids' Self-Esteem changes the entire atmosphere and culture of the classroom. Not to speak of awesome benefits for the individual student.
High Self-Esteem and a can-do attitude makes bullies 'jobless'!

Watch for news and information about the Campaign. Join up! Participate!

Senator Obama requested Self-Esteem Tools information

Senator Obama requested the Self-Esteem project information from Anke Otto-Wolf and said that “Our kids deserve a better chance at every level –from preschool and summer school, to high school and college. Last year, I introduced the Innovation Districts for School Improvement Act, which provides grants to school systems that draft detailed plans for broad reforms at the district level.” Anke Otto-Wolf is the creator of Self-Esteem Tools for Teachers and the initiator of the Self-Esteem in Schools campaign to be launched mid August.

“The teacher is the most important factor in successfully educating our children, and we need to give our teachers everything they need to succeed,” Senator Obama wrote. The Self-Esteem Tools for Teachers is the expert website and the answer to this call for support of our Teachers. Teachers need to be able to do what they really love to do: teach and educate our children.

The Self-Esteem Tool for Teachers Project includes much more than just classroom material; Otto-Wolf, a teachers herself, has recognized that THE most pressing task on hand begins by trying to change the mindset of society, and make education a vital and joyful part of growing up. Therefore, she includes the ‘trickle down effect’ and suggests that the change starts at the school district level; and then, teachers and principals, students and parents will participate in that change as well.

Otto-Wolf believes that Self-Esteem is the most underrated solution to increasing school attendance and decreasing violence; i.e., if the bully would have high self-esteem, the bully would not be bullying. Peak performances are achieved through boosting self-esteem, learning skills and learning abilities. The Self-Esteem Quilt© Concept is a classroom proven method offering vital Self-Esteem Tools to Teachers in the classroom.

And because “Teachers are the most important factor in successfully educating our children”, the most relevant support material assists teachers in providing the ‘can do’ attitudes with positive affirmations, gratitude and joy exercises, as well as encouraging language choices. Children need to experience kindness for themselves and for others, learn how to have empathy and consideration. Teachers need these Self-Esteem Tools to enhance healthy emotional stability.

Senator Obama also said that “Teachers need more control over what goes on in their classrooms” which can easily be accomplished by allowing Teachers to have a small sliver of time so they can create a calm classroom through silent moments, meditations, affirmations, and art work.

It is our firm obligation to counter children’s lack of Self-Esteem. In our present world of so much fear and uncertainty, children feel insecure and lash out. A Self-Esteem teaching aid for the youngest of our students is that whimsical character Toley Ranz which represents the awareness of every child’s inner voice. The sound of the Toley Ranz ‘psst- psst’ has a long lasting impact on children.

The Self-Esteem Tools for Teachers Concept with its unique approach gives districts the edge in achieving the demands which Senator Obama’s School Improvement Act stipulates. Districts accept the Self-Esteem Quilt Concept mindset, receive complete guidelines for implementation; Teachers participate in e-workshops and e-seminars, and empower their students; and the students gain higher self-esteem, will be ready for the future, and will "Meet the demands of the modern global economy."

Underrated Self-Esteem as Solution in Classrooms and for School Attendance

Underrated Self-Esteem is the solution to increasing school attendance and decreasing violence. Yes, Self-Esteem is most underrated; yet, it increases not only school attendance, and creates calmer classrooms, it generates positives attitudes. Peak performances are achieved through boosting self-esteem and motivation, countering the notion that 'underrated self-esteem' is a none-importance, and either you have it or you don't.

The Self-Esteem Quilt Concept is a classroom proven method offering vital Self-Esteem Tools to enhance students' low self-esteem and their learning abilities. Thus, allowing teachers to do what they love to do: teach.

Children’s lack of Self-Esteem is one of the reasons for decreased school attendance and behavioral problems in class. In our present world of so much fear and uncertainty, children feel insecure and lash out. The need to bring change about is ever present.

Every teacher is in need of new information and applicable methods to counter behavioral problems in class. The Self-Esteem Quilt is an innovative approach to teaching and implementing the many facets of self-esteem; it is as simple as creating and sewing together the many patches of a beautiful quilt. One of the most demanding parts of teaching self-esteem is consistency. Therefore, worksheets for all age groups are available, as well as comprehensive lessons and suggestions which easily can be integrated into daily lesson plans. This worksheet material is a wonderful aid for every teacher to boost self-esteem.

Entire Self-Esteem school projects include different themes for each school month and address self-esteem writing competitions, language control, pro-active interactions in classrooms, self-respect, belief in self, and so much more. And for the youngest students there is Toley Ranz, a whimsical character helping to learn and understand self-respect and reliance. The Self-Esteem Quilt Concept also presents solutions for the school yard bully’s low self-esteem, and brings hope to parents and children with ADHD.

The needs of teachers and parents in mind, e-classes and seminars with a wide-range of experts at hand for the Q &A sessions are a resourceful and welcomed pool of knowledge. Real and practical guidelines, and hands-on assistance are tools to successfully boosting Self-Esteem in children.

And when will you kick start your Self-Esteem Quilt in class or at home? The time is NOW. And then, a few weeks down the road into Self-Esteem learning and implementing, the notion of Self-Esteem being 'underrated' will change to the perception of 'it is THE solution'.
