Worksheet: Positive Reframing 

Date: NOVEMBER 10 ,2022

Name: SARAH MAE G. PEREZ

Reframing simply means seeing a situation from a new perspective. This is

important because our brains are incredibly efficient and hard-wired to look for
negative situations because their first priority is to keep us safe. So while it is easy
to chuckle at the anecdote above as a classic example of the logical fallacies of kids,
the truth is that we are all prone to subconsciously interpreting events in ways that
are more negative than an objective observer would. These types of cognitions are
called automatic negative thoughts.

them you have some concerns
about their test. Begin by asking
them a sampling of questions
from the test and document the
answers that I gave. Most of the
time when students cheat, they
will give different answers than
they chose on their original test. If
their answers are significantly
different than that is a good place
to start the conversation.

I have to reach out and give
students a hand who aren’t doing
any work by getting them started
on the missing assignment
helping them to clarify their
thinking, or even making myself
available during the day or after
hours to help them achieve
success.
I’m going to keep them awake and
engaged with physical movement
and mentally stimulating
activities in a well-lit classroom.
