This course is designed to empower learners to become consciously aware
of their own strengths and challenges as they face decision points in
their life as a student and beyond.
The course features include providing learners with information about
themselves, their needs to meet their goals, information and strategies
to help move them toward their goals, and provides learning experiences
and insights into areas of personal responsibility, self-motivation,
self-management, interdependence, self-awareness, life long learning,
emotional intelligence, and belief in self.
This course is meant to be a journey of learning and awareness for
all involved as learners realize options and are able to consciously
make choices which are focused on their goal. When faced with "Life
Happens" situations and decision points, each student becomes more
aware of choices available to move from a victim role to that of a creator
role.
This website is meant as a resource to help build a repertoire of strategies
to have learning be more directed, focused, and fun while being empowered
to make choices to move towards identified goals |
