Self-Discipline
"Learn to recognize when speed is not
important. Race when being first is
important; move at your own pace at all
other times. It is not necessary to always
strike the first blow, to provide the first
solution, or to reach a goal before anyone
else does. In fact, it is sometimes vital to
strike the last blow, to give the final
answer, or to arrive after everyone else.“
-Jedi Master Wiwa

How a Journey Works
• The candidate will be given an objective
each week which corresponds with a
journey in the Jedi Code
• The overall goal of the objectives are for
the candidate to meet with more success
than failure.
How a Journey Works
• Objectives are only a week long.
–If the candidate is successful with
an objective the candidate earns a
reward.
–If the candidate fails to meet an
objective the candidate will revisit
that objective at a later time.
Breaks During a Journey
• The candidate may receive one 5 minute
“meditation” break each class period, if
needed.
– May get a drink of water
– No talking
Assessing the Objective
through Data Collection
• Each week the candidate’s participating
Jedi Masters will fill out a form assessing
the candidate’s performance.
• Objectives will range from daily data
recording to only recording data on
specific days.
