Over the last few years, Eaton Academy has encountered more and more students who come to us suffering a high degree of anxiety. From what we have seen, this condition can be caused by societal pressure, peer interactions and parental/school expectations. Our philosophy and various programs are effective for reducing stress and anxiety for these students.
We ran across this NPR article and thought it might be helpful in this light.

From the President:
“Eaton Academy serves students who benefit from a more customized model of education designed to meet their personal needs.” Those personal needs are academic, social, emotional, and physical.
In previous blogs, we introduced “B” for Befriend only those that bring out the BEST in you, “E” for Excel in your natural talents, and “S” for Set Goals and do something every day to achieve them. Lastly, it’s time to continue your journey of being your “Potential BEST” by engaging in the following activities specifically designed to meet your personal needs: “T” for Treat others with the same level of respect you expect from others.
LASTLY: You have completed all of the tasks and activities in the character education program BEST. The last activity is one that relates to how students interpret success vs failure. Enjoy your journey on motivating yourself to be Your BEST!

In last week’s blog, “B” for Befriend, only those that bring out the BEST in you was introduced. You were to ask yourself these questions.
Now it’s time to start your journey to being your “Potential BEST” by engaging in the following activities specifically designed to meet your personal needs.
This week, you are to complete these activities.
Highlight in yellow if the activity/task/strategy (verb is highlighted in red) is auditory, visual, or kinesthetic/tactile. These strategies will help you practice how to befriend those that bring out the BEST in you. Document your answers in your 3 ring binder.
Complete these tasks. Motivate yourself to choose good friends.
Individual tasks/activities
Small group tasks/activities
The goal is to use activities that encourage you to think about how you make friends. Create your own activities that are not listed. Decide whether they are an auditory, visual or kinesthetic/tactile activity. It will help you learn what type of learning activity you prefer and how you naturally learn and absorb information.
Next week, we will provide more “Befriend” activities.

We focus on the whole student and all that student needs to flourish, succeed, and reach his/her POTENTIAL BEST. Our BEST character education program, developed over ten years ago, is implemented daily. We focus on each letter in BEST for nine weeks, discussing, practicing, and implementing anti-bullying techniques. Students use these tenets and strategies to strengthen self-worth, confidence, and self-esteem. Follow our blog each week to see samples of our tenets, questions to ask oneself, and strategies designed to help students become their BEST!
