Because our students' futures are at stake
We know all too well that without college or career training, our students' job prospects may be severely limited. But if you ask any middle-schooler about life after high school, too many respond with a bored look or noncommittal shrug. Here's how to explain the real world when your students just don't want to listen or aren't aware of the importance of their education. This must-have book for any middle school teacher or counselor provides:
-Conversation starters for communicating the importance of college or career training
-Talking points and discussion questions to uncover students' interests
-Quizzes and reflections to get students planning
