Introduction

Dependability means other people can count on you. Dependability is a trait you can develop. What might be something you can do this year to build your dependability? Why do you think this is a good leadership trait?

Critical Thinking

Consider the following situation on your own: You’ve promised your family you’ll help out around the house, but you’ve lost track of time again doing other things. Your family seems upset that you haven’t kept your promise again.

What do you do? Try to think of a few different things you could do (positive, negative, and neutral). What might the results of your actions be?

Collaboration

For a small group, each student presents their ideas to the whole class. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.

For a larger group, divide students into small groups and have students present their ideas to the small group. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.
