Speaking Up at School

are the tools and strategies we need in order to be most successful at school.
Another word for 'speaking up' for ourselves is
.
We speak up for ourselves by letting
know exactly what we need.
We speak up for ourselves
by using an appropriate tone of voice.
Raising our hand to ask for what we need is an example of considering the right
to talk.
For health and
requests, we don’t have to worry about the right Time and Place to speak up.
A
is just something we desire and is different than a need.
With practice, we will feel more
communicating our needs.
We should never feel
speaking up for ourselves at school.
Extra time on a test to carefully read the questions is an example of a
, not a want.
