What will you learn inside
"I took this course because I wanted to put myself in the shoes of today's high school and college students. My formal education days were well before all of these tools were available. Yet, students today struggle with different things: the constant bombardment of social media, the lure to disconnect via games, the need for instant gratification and lacking problem solving skills. A course like this is a prime opportunity to ENGAGE a student in their learning, to begin the task of turning over accountability and ownership of their learning to them. These skills and tools are transferrable to the world of working."

Am I good fit for this course if I work with younger clients?While the course is a great fit for working with middle and high school students, it does not focus on strategies for clients younger than 6th grade.
