In each session , you will work with your coach on identifying what your interests are , how to develop all the skills you ’ ll need to develop for your career – including communication skills , self-advocacy , how to better stay focused and calm , and how to better organize planning for your future . Your coach will also provide resources to you and your parent / guardian on what companies are looking for in their employees and help you identify your strengths and your areas for growth . Assistance for family members in how to best help you move towards your goals is also available from these certified coaches . Coaches are also available for any student and family who primarily speak Spanish .
So far , the Student Success Coaching Program has worked with several dozen students and their families , and it has a record of great success . “ I didn ’ t even know where to start to make my love of robotics into a career ,” says Diego , 14 . “ But my coach asked a lot of questions that helped me see what I already knew I could do , and challenged me to do more . I built a lot of confidence and set some goals I know I can reach .”
Shawna , 13 , learned how to better ask for help at school and in finding resources about her interest in becoming a commercial pilot . “ I knew I wanted to do well at math , but I didn ’ t realize that learning how to focus , and not be distracted by things like my phone and video games , are important to practice in order to become a better pilot . I never would have known that , or known how to start practicing that , if it wasn ’ t for my coach .”
What all our students have in common is that they each make a map that is their own , all built on their skills and their potential to learn and do more . If this sounds like something you ’ d like to experience for yourself , be sure to check out the Student Success Coaching Program for yourself . You never know how high you can fly until you try !
