Brief Program Description
So many students have been conditioned to dream big and follow their dreams. What happens when students do everything they can to attain a dream but it never becomes a reality? Or what happens when they reach the so called dream and it's not what they expected? This session is designed to inform educators to help at-risk students understand the difference between purpose and dreams, and to give educators a process called R4 to use with at-risk students struggling to become Life, College, and Career ready!
Summary
Inform participants on the issues at-risk students deal with when it comes to life after high school (graduate or non graduate). Participants will learn how to connect with students so they can better identify warning signs of issues impacting at-risk student development. Participants will discuss the difference between purpose and dreams, and be given a specific process to help at- risk students in their development and matriculation post high school.
