Course Description:
Effective Teens is designed to provide teens an opportunity to grow both as individuals and also in their ability to relate to others from a place of confidence, with a grounded sense of self and direction. In the supporting book, Sean Covey adapts the timeless principles of the 7 Habits to relevant tough issues and life-changing decisions teens face. In an entertaining style, Covey provides a step-by-step guide to help teens improve self-image, build friendships, resist peer pressure, achieve their goals, get along with their parents, and much more. While the 7 Habits book text will be the foundation of the coursework, much of the emphasis in class will be on creating a safe space for students to explore their own inner workings, identifying personal obstacles and strengths, as well as increasing their emotional maturity as a result of this shared experience.

Students will have weekly reading assignments, which are expected to be completed outside of class. Class time will include class discussion of their reading as well as other topics. A strong emphasis will be placed on group discussion.
