No
Excuses University--Culture of Universal Achievement
“Greatness is not a function of
circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice,
and discipline.” – Jim Collins
Upon reading chapters
1-5 of No Excuses University (Lopez, 2013), reflect on the foundational
concepts of No Excuses University addressing each of the listed points.
Compose your journal using first-person language.
a. Consider the structure of each chapter. Describe the key
elements you observed that make each chapter easy to follow or more readable.
b. Select one “Key Concept” and one “Theory to Practice” statement
from any of the first five chapters to reflect upon. Explain why it is
personally and/or professionally relevant to you.
c. Chapter five discusses the concept of having “your moment”. What
was your moment? When did you know that you wanted to be involved in the lives
of students or youth?
d. What are the most common reasons why educators become jaded?
What actions might ensure that we don’t lose sight of the commitments that we
once made as new educators entering the profession?
