Life Skills
Within the AdvancePath Academy there is a clear focus on providing meaningful life skills coaching. Non-traditional learners often need strong role models and explicit coaching on specific life skills topics to succeed in the post-secondary environment. Indeed, a deficiency in these skills is a quite often a contributing factor as to why students have left school, or will leave.
During the small group instruction time with the teachers, students cover a range of life skills topics through both a structured curriculum and less formal discussion groups.
These topics include:
- Why completing high school is important
- Study habits
- Goal setting
- Time management
- Conflict resolution and violence prevention
- Employment interviewing
- College applications
- How to pursue post-secondary opportunities
