Building Skills

Building Skills

In each location our students differ, for instance, in High Level and Rainbow very few of our students have their learners license. In La Crete, most every students has their learners. In Fort half the population has it. Driving is a skill, a skill employers like to see on a resume. 

Leah has developed a skills sheet which High level will pilot this week. It will be put in the binder with the grad plan. It is a checklist of skills a student should have upon graduating from our schools. We are excited to use this tool to build skills in our students. With the building of skills comes a generalization of behavior, the student feels confident. Mark Twain says, " A man can not be comfortable without his own approval." In all schools our students are learning to build confidence. We are offering opportunities for that.



Thank yous

Huge thanks to two students from High Level's school Nathan and Elora. They assisted in the completion of our deck. Now all we need is one more plus 17 day to have a dance on that deck. 

Thanks to Alex for running the Com 1005 course in la Crete last week. He always does a great job with it. 7 students took part.

Early thanks to Leah who will be completing the Fin 1010 course with me this morning. This is a course that we will be bringing to Rainbow as well. ( better ask Leah if she wants to go to Rainbow first!)

Thanks to Bonnie who is already starting to gather toys for Christmas hampers. Her event is full and there will be many happy boys and girls because of it. Hours and hours are spent with this service learning project. Our kids get to wrap those toys, fill hampers and deliver them. Everyone wins because of her hard working team.
