As we head towards the end of term, it's important to look back and celebrate all we have achieved in the last school year. 🏆 Our Celebrating Success Guide is full of practical tips for recognising your students' achievements. 🥇 Read it here: https://buff.ly/4a5bXvm #LexiaUK #LiteracyForAll #LiteracySuccess #CelebrationAssembly #StudentAchievements

August Class Achievements: Let’s Celebrate YOU! It’s not just about racking up the number of classes—it’s about the number of times you showed up for yourself, especially on those tough-as-nails days when it would’ve been easier to stay home. 💪 In full transparency, this is a new program for us, so I KNOW many of you have some incredible achievements waiting to be celebrated! If you haven’t seen your name yet, hit us up and I’ll personally look up your class count and make sure you get the recognition you deserve. Now, here’s something super special I want to highlight—this amazing crew is made up of brand-new members, Yourh Girls, AND some of my OG day-one girls who’ve been with me since before I even had a proper system in place. That’s why some of these numbers might look WILD. (Like, 1,300 classes for Mary and Jess and Cassie’s 500 day 1s! 🤯) But let’s keep it real for a sec—life happens, we all fall off track. What matters is that you JUMP BACK ON. Around here, we say everyone has a day one, and some of us have several. And you know what? We celebrate them ALL. Whether you’ve hit 500 classes or had 500 day ones, you showed up for yourself each and every time—and THAT is what we’re proud of. 👏 If you want to be part of a community that celebrates ALL the wins—big and small—drop us a message today. Let’s keep crushing it, together!

Name:. Date: End of the year Reflection Please answer the following questions while reflecting on your past school year. What can you do today that you Weren't capable of a year ago? What is the most important lesson you have learned this past year? What experience from this past year do you appreciate the most? What is something you've accomplished this year that you are proud of? What was the most defining moment in your life during this past year? www.ukapes.org

Besides that, it is interesting to hear these words from someone like Feynman, who was at the forefront of important, groundbreaking discoveries (and not by some people who are drowned in their egos and titles and probably not as prolific as him), questioning such titles and honors, that they might be superficial, it struck me that in the relatively recent history of human (compared to H. sapiens life), such honoring and titles in their current form are happening very very lately! Considering more than 2000 years of brilliant written history of science and philosophy, from Aristotle to Avecinna to Galileo to Newton, we have such titles only in our modern history! Are we commercializing everything, even in science? Or making up titles and awards day by day? And if yes, what is lacking (or, better say, fading away) inside us that we are compensating for by this? (It’s not innuendo; I am really seeking an answer!)

#TransferStudentWeek LinkedIn Challenge! Next week (Oct. 21-25) is National Transfer Student Week (#NTSW), and this is a call to all transfers! It is vital to the #transfer cause to share our transfer stories! Your transfer journey is rich life experience that YOU bring with you to all aspects of your life, particularly your profession! This is a call to everyone who has transferred from one post-secondary institution to another to list all their educational institutions on their resume and LinkedIn profile. Show your #TransferPride and show the world what #TransferSuccess looks like! Especially for those already deep in their careers and fields of choice, it is on us to lead the way and shift the mindset nationally! #EndCCStigma by changing the narrative! You are the only one who gets to define your educational and professional journey; bias and elitism in education do not have to be the drivers! Join Transfer Nation & My Tribe Media & National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students next week and post about your transfer journey! Tag Transfer Nation so we can celebrate you and your story all week long on #LinkedIn! #College #CollegesAndUnversities #HigherEd #HigherEducation #LinkedIn #TransferWeek #NTSW2024 #Education #ValueAllFormsOfEducation #ChangeTheNarritive

What has your child(ren) done this week to make you proud of them? Acknowledging the little things that our children do is more important than celebrating the big achievements. And this is why.... The little things are done more often and daily. They are the reasons for your children achieving the bigger goals. So when they study without being nagged, help out in the house without being asked, or share a compliment, take a moment to celebrate them. Notice what they have done. And the more you do this ... you will notice the more they will do. Try it
