We know that schools do their best to prepare students for academic success once entering college, but we as parents know that it takes much more to be successful in a career. Parents who invest in their children understand the importance of critical thinking and taking initiative. This guide breaks down what to do at home to incorporate those skills.
This video explains how to use grades as a goal setting strategy. Setting goals helps children on the path to ownership, which is a stepping stone into taking initiative. My “Beyond The Grades” guide has strategies and tasks (like the ones from this video) that you can do with your kiddos to build leadership skills.
As more school districts are strapped for cash, the pressure is put on teachers to get kiddos to perform well on tests. This is great for those future scholarships, but what qualities will set them apart for the internship and the job interview? This chart shows the top complaints amongst employers when hiring and interviewing recent college grads. My “Beyond The Grades” guide builds future leaders from the classroom to the boardroom.
