Managing self

This "job tree" is a resource that I've noticed has really contributed to the key competency of 'Managing Self' in my AT's classroom.  Students are assigned tasks for the week and these are clearly displayed on the tree.  At the start of the week the owls fly down the tree and the tasks are rotated.  I have noticed the effect of having such a visually appealing and clear resource to keep track of these tasks - if the students are unsure about what to do during, say, packing up time, they will refer to the tree and see what job they are meant to be doing.  The pride that they take in doing these tasks is evident and it seems like a very effective way to reinforce the key competency of managing self.
