Q1 Your Personal Compass: Connecting Values
Connecting your values
Every great team—whether it’s a championship sports team or a group working on a class project—runs on a set of core values. But here’s the thing: everyone brings a different set of strengths and values to the table.
Today, you’re going to figure out your personal core values using a street-art value sort.
Step 1. Once in the Q1 Value Tagging app, you will complete the following tasks:
- Sort the Tag Deck: You’ll start with 25 value stickers. Drag each one into a bucket: Must-Have, Nice to Have, or Not Essential.
- Lock in Your Top 5: From your top piles, narrow it down to your 5 absolute core values.
- Complete the Teamwork Reflection with complete thoughtful sentences.
- Select Generate Certificate.
- Now, go into the Q1 Value Tagging app to begin.
Your Evidence and Reflection
Step 2. Add your downloaded certificate to your Global Changemakers portfolio.
Step 3. Reflect on the following group discussion questions based on your teachers instructions.
- How might two people with very different strengths from "Your Top 5" list actually work better together than two people who are similar?
- Has a misunderstanding ever happened on a team because people came from different backgrounds or had different values? What helped fix it?
- What's one way our team can make sure everyone's identity actually get used, not just noticed?
