This session focuses on understanding self-comparison and personal progress tracking through a dynamic classroom environment. The class begins with an engaging cat video to foster a positive atmosphere, followed by a reflection activity on self-comparison where students recall instances of comparing themselves to others, assessing their motivations—whether for growth or out of doubt. Students then learn how to track their personal data using Data Chat Sheets, emphasizing the importance of measuring individual growth over time rather than comparing with others. Dean Furness, a speaker and wheelchair athlete, discusses the significance of 'personal bests' versus competition and shares insights on overcoming challenges. The session includes active viewing of a TedTalk, guided notes completion, and class discussions to reinforce the learning objectives. At the end, students provide key takeaways and set personal action steps based on their reflections.
