Internationally known speaker, author and educator R. Keeth Matheny made a recent visit to Warren City Schools to encourage students and staff and support the school district’s Project Lighthouse work.
The conversations were specific to “Academic Success Skills,” the first theme of the series.
Matheny and his wife, Cory, spent three days, Sept. 24, 25, and 26, in the school district, visiting classrooms, working with students, and providing professional development to support to staff.
While working with freshman during their Raider Days on Tuesday, Sept. 24, Matheny illustrated the importance of prioritizing with the “Rocks in a Jar” analogy. The exercise shows how prioritizing takes planning.
If you try to put everything in the jar at once, it doesn’t fit. However, if you put your “big rocks” (most important things) first, you can make it work.
The lesson was part of the first 9-week focus on supporting student success by helping them learn strategies to build Academic Success Skills.
Matheny also led Warren G. Harding High School teachers through this activity during morning meeting time.
