Unconditional positive regard means offering compassion to people even if they have done something wrong. Again, this particular article and podcast have been all about showing complete love, support, and acceptance to all. It's all about showing our students (and the people we care about) that I care about you, you have value, you don’t have to do anything to prove it to me, and nothing will change my mind...
I would definitely share this important and valuable information with my colleagues and my wife. First, my colleagues, since we're obviously in the same profession- teaching, and sharing my takeaways with them regarding UPR and most likely them sharing their first impressions and feedback with me. In the profession of teaching, it's all about sharing- information, strategies, best practice, lessons, etc. Second, my wife, this would definitely be a good parenting conversation to have regarding our son and teaching him about having patience, acceptance, and compassion for other people at school, at church, and on his sport's teams... I look forward to having these conversations with my colleagues and wife. Also, I look forward to challenging myself (and reflecting on) to UPR and offering that compassion, patience, support, and acceptance to all of my students!
