7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS (SPRING SEMESTER) Cost $20
"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 share openly, identifying personal obstacles and strengths, and increasing their emotional maturity as a result of this shared experience.
