In Charge of Their Own Education

How Parents and Teachers Can Help Students Navigate

About this book

This book is written for parents and teachers to help them guide students (kindergarten through college), preparing them for the next steps of their education and getting into the workforce. The goal is to have students take charge of their own education and develop the career skills they need to succeed. The book provides ideas for parents and teachers to help their kids and students improve their critical thinking skills and creativity, communication skills, team and leadership skills, flexibility and adaptability, work ethic, and social skills. Also covered are suggestions on how to navigate getting a job, from online research about the field all the way to the job interview. The end of the book includes several success stories of people who took ownership of their education.
