Proactive in the Workspace

Period 2
Proactive in the workspace

Brainstorm
1.       Make sure there are no dangling plugs
2.       Pick up any trash on the floor
3.       Raise your hand for as many questions as you can
4.       Come to class on time
5.       Do your best in class
6.       Clean up and put away any parts that are on the floor
7.       Bring your sketching packets to class every day
8.       Socialize, as long as your work is getting done and you aren’t annoying anyone else
9.       Don’t touch other people’s projects
10.   Work on getting pay raises every week

Prototype/Test
1.       While walking in and out of class, pick up small pieces of paper that were on the ground
2.       Actively resisting the urge to touch other people’s projects
3.       Working before socializing

Results/Feedback
                Being proactive in the workspace means to do things before you’re told to do them. So, picking up the ground without having Mr. Olson telling you to. Through the week, people have been proactive with different things like opening a window when it got too hot, moving the cart when someone noticed that it was in the way of seeing the board, closing the door when it got to windy outside. People being proactive benefits everyone and most importantly, it decreases the amount of stress in Mr. Olson’s life. 
                Being proactive worked very well, and throughout the week, the class looked noticeably cleaner and more organized.          
                I feel that I have earned this week’s advanced/pay raise. I worked hard through the week to be proactive to keep the room clean. I have been working hard since the start of school and I hope that hard work will finally pay off.
