How can I use this program in my school?
This course was designed
to be
used as a semester course. It was originally placed
in the business department as an elective but it could be placed
in other departments as well.
A
school could use this program in other ways besides as a
self-supporting course.
They include:
-
As an after school program
for schools that have to lengthen their school day.
At the recent
American Association of School Administrators conference in
San Diego, a video was shown to superintendents relating the
benefits of after school programs for teens. This program
would be an ideal addition to schools looking for meaningful
ways to extend the school day.
-
As the character component
for senior project programs.
Senior projects are becoming commonplace in the school
course of studies. Students must enroll in at least
one course where character is studied. This program
encompasses character and ethics among other topics
-
For personalization or
advisor/advisee programs.
Schools and parents recognize that many teens feel isolated
and disconnected from their peers. The personalization
and advisor/advisee programs were developed to address this
problem but often schools are unsure of what materials are
available to put these programs into place.
