Trendy T’s & Interpersonal Skills

How well do you interact with others?  

For the past week in the BMS Career Center, 8th graders have been learning all about how demonstrating good interpersonal skills will help them be successful not only now as a student, but in the future as an employee as well.

Students’ culminating activity was producing a t-shirt with a catchy slogan and design that markets, or advertises, the interpersonal skills they have learned. Here are the winning teams. Good job y’all!

Conflict Management Champs!

How can you solve a conflict without making others mad?  Is it possible?  That’s what 8th graders have just recently learned about in Career Management class. What better way to learn than to put your newly acquired skills to the test through the Conflict Resolution Challenge?!

Students were split into groups and given 3 different conflict scenarios to solve using both common sense and the conflict management strategies they learned in class.

And now for our winners….drum roll please!!!
