Self-managers
are students who are able to manage their own behavior and make
good choices. Students earn signatures in the Six Character Pillars
to move up the Self-manager levels. Right Choice lessons are taught
every week on the character pillars. Each level of Self-manager
earns certain privileges. All
students are issued a star folder, which has an area for signatures
in the back. Anytime a teacher observes the student demonstrating
these character traits they earn a little or even sometimes a big
signature. Ten little signatures on the back of the folder
equal to one big signature inside. Once they have ten big
signatures they become self-managers and earn special privileges.
Once a student is a self-manager he can continue to earn more signatures
therefore, move up levels. There are 4 levels, pink, blue,
green and yellow. Each level comes with its own set of extra
privileges. Self-Managers are to serve as example of how a
third grader should act. It is a great honor that is taken
very seriously.
