Subj: [RR] Sparkle...*What Rangers want- SUCCESS! Date: 2/12/99 1:16:04 PM Central Standard Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Duane Wheeler) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We commanders want to award success to successful Royal Rangers... but to do that and encrease the participation in success... 1. We must clearly articulate the criteria for success and provide clear, immediate and constructive feedback. 2. We must show the Rangers that the skills are within their grasp by clearly and systematicly modeling these skills. 3. We must help them see *success as a valuable aspect of their personalities. How do we make successful rangers? *Use all the skills from Section 5 of the LTC to build trust and *communication between you and the boys, for instruction in skills. Get in there and struggle with them to understand! *Unfold knoledge from their perspective... tell them what the thing is and how it works and when to use it. *Some use the "ask a question and re-fit the answer tactic..." that's good.. But in any case state what the criteria for success might be... *some Rangers absorb quietly.. some rush to answer.... But what *you as Leader/Teacher should do is build questions around the desire to AROUSE CURIOSITY! *When we see the rangers become curious, suddenly the lecture is over and the game turns to answering questions! *This is the process to deep understanding, when we ask curious questions! Get in there and ask the question... and wait for an answer! ..ask a deeper question.. and another!<G> How can we maintain a *curious intrest in cut and dry topics? *Suggestion.. (Make the explination "fragmentary" or contradictory displaying differing thoughts of the same subject) The rush to get to the right answer... runs over the top of "what if" questions and those even in dry topics sometimes become keys to teachable moments of truth! *stand-by! -=A=- .....................................................................

Date: 2/12/99 1:15:15 PM Central Standard Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Duane Wheeler) Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Real Royal Rangers display four goals- SUCCESS CURIOSITY ORIGINALITY and Satisfying Relationships! *This "engagement" we see, when hands shoot up and the "I know..Oh,oh..I know" buzzer goes off in the eyes of young Pioneers!<G> *even Trailblazers show excitement when something of *intrest arises! We most often see this during a project, a presentation or a lively discussion. The Rangers display these three characteristics then: 1. they are attracted to their work 2. they persist in their work, dispite challenges.. 3. they take visible delight in accomplishing thier work! *Success- the need for mastery *Curiosity-the need for understanding *Originality-the need for self expression *Relationships- the need for involvement with others. and finely, that "spirit" is called... *ENERGY! How can this be the norm for our Royal ranger meetings... when *apithy sometimes shows in boys who come but don't know why.. *I feel our Mission is first to REACH THEM! *stand-by.. more to come! -=A=- ...................................................................... _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks!"
