Winning colors described personal strengths in terms of behavior, communication and attributes. All of us have aspects of all four colors, but each profile (the order in which we place our cards) will show dominant strengths. Each cadet WINNING COLORS are behaviors we have now and those behaviors we want to develop in order to obtain our goals successfully. It will be very helpful for all us to be able to identify those behaviors we are strong in, not strong, and those we might want to acquire to be successful in attaining our goals.

Select a cadet you know and state, what you believe, are the first two colors of the cadet. Explain why?

A) A group would definitely work better if they had an understanding of the personal and communications strengths of all participants. WINNING COLORS help us to understand our own, and other group team member's self-image (how one sees oneself); then self-esteem (how one feels about oneself), perception, learning, and motivation. B) If I know the profiles of each one of the team members, I can assigned responsibilities based on their individual communication, behavioral, and leadership abilities. Using this technique I can also make sub-teams within the group that might have similar profiles

Drawing a picture, composing, listening to music, or watching a performance -- these activities can be a vital door to learning -- as important as writing and mathematics. Studies show that many students who perform poorly on traditional tests are turned on to learning when classroom experiences incorporate artistic, athletic, and musical activities. Using multiple intelligences provide opportunities for authentic learning based on students' needs, interests and talents. The multiple intelligence classroom acts like the "real" world. Students become more active, involved learners.

Service learning enhances learning and allows cadets to gain experience while providing a service to their community. Our service learning project is the canned food drive

Service Learning Relates not only relates to our curriculum but to the mission of JROTC, which is "to motivate students to become better citizens." When we participate in Service Learning we are helping the community but at the same time we are learning about our community and about ourselves. Some of the skills that we learn in ROTC can be applied before, during and after our service learning project activities. For examples: A) Planning and management skills can be used to prepare for the events B) Adapting our winning colors knowledge to establish different duties and responsibilities within the groups.

All the cadets participating in the Service Learning project participate in After Action Reviews AAR to evaluate our efforts. We also write essays on our experiences. At the end of the year the SAI evaluates the project making sure we achieved all our goals in accordance with guidance from cadet command

We have a Service Learning Book which is updated by the Battalion S-3 and includes a log of activities and essays of the cadets
