Proposal
The Vision Board Method allows the student to take control of their academic destiny by creating a vision per course, developing a blueprint for success incorporating strategies for achieving their goals. During this process, students are taught how to take their vision and turn it into success by goal setting, planning and research using information literacy strategies to visualize their success in the course and in college. Students are given clear instructions with a rubric that explains the assignment. The students will analyze the syllabus for the class and create a vision board that inspires them into action using the proprietary Vision Board Method Academia. Students will combine their passion and goals in life, with what it takes to be successful in that class and then research what they need to merge the two together. Throughout the course, checkpoints are built in to make sure the roadmaps that students developed are actually effective in successfully completing the course.
