Strategies for Success was written to address some of the elements missing in the education of teens in
the twenty-first century. Parents,
business owners, teachers and teens themselves have expressed concern that
students are not exposed to as many positive influences as they were in years
past.
With fragmented families and both parents working, teens often find
themselves with an overabundance of time on their hands and a scarcity of
empowering resources at their disposal. For many, advice comes in the form
of the omnipresent media or a fellow teen. They need and want assistance
in creating a good life for themselves but often don’t know where to turn for
reliable information and tools.
Schools have
ramped up their academic curricula to address new laws and national testing.
Teachers have been asked to rise to the ranks of ‘high performing.’
Parents have struggled to find solutions to help their children. But
students still seek a cohesive framework to link their educational and social
issues in a meaningful, engaging and inviting manner.
Strategies for Success
provides students with multi-intelligence, whole-brain based, team building sets
of lessons that allow students to learn strategies for coping with issues both
in and out of school. Students are exposed to some of the top authors of
the era in the fields of self-improvement and financial education.
The
energizing classroom environment created in this course allows students to
actively participate in building strategies that will last a lifetime.
