O knihe

In this book, Tina Bengermino hopes to convince you of the value of shifting from conventional community service and service learning models to Personal Growth Initiatives. Her philosophy is that students should be encouraged to take healthy risks, to want to go beyond their comfort zones and be given the opportunity to practice doing so. By definition Personal Growth Initiatives are structured programs in which personal growth is the focus. The design of the experience is student driven and requires the acquisition of personal skills and knowledge. A well developed Personal Growth Initiative develops true leadership skills, resiliency, and qualities that promote genuine feelings of empathy and civic responsibility. She strongly advocates a shift to Personal Growth Initiatives because they promote greater motivation and a deeper sense of achievement. The experience has been proven to have a longer lasting personal impact on the participants. In this book, she gives evidence as to how Personal Growth Initiatives provide greater self-efficacy and personal management development than traditional programs, educational justification for their use, and detailed step by step directions and materials on how to implement the program used at Fairfield Woods Middle so you can get started right away. Tina intends to reveal the ease and sustainability of a Personal Growth Initiative and how easily it can be modified to meet the needs of your program and participants using proven and effective teaching materials and strategies along with student samples. In addition, she describes three alternative approaches and provides teaching materials with different focuses and assessments so you are sure to find a Personal Growth Initiative framework that is right for you!
