This is a little off topic, but since we're all into basketball...Does anyone have any experience with John Wooden's Pyramid of Success? I teach 5th grade and recently read "Wooden: A lifetime of Observations On and Off the Court". I'm going to put the pyramid up in my classroom and work our way through it discussing each block (probably having the students prewrite about each block, then discuss it as a class, and have the students post-write on the block). Right now I'm in the information gathering stage. Has anyone ever read any other books that would help or used it in a high school or college program? I just thought it discussed a lot of deeper issues of education and life that are outside our core curriculum. Also, its another way of connecting with my students about work ethic and achievement. Thanks in advance.
