And since it can be too threatening for adolescents
to risk humiliation by exposing any perceived weakness, they'll
avoid asking. When their concerns are kept private, it's hard
to know what they may be struggling with, or how to help.
As a result, far too many adolescent students are not adequately
prepared for success. Our extensive experience assessing and
treating adolescents and consulting with their schools has
enabled us to distill and fine tune the best ideas and practices
for student success. We have isolated specific facets of success,
and have developed a powerful set of tools to help students,
and their schools understand and develop them, bringing success
within each student's reach... and keeping it there.
 Facets
of Success is a unique tool for use with adolescents, designed
to help them understand, assess, and strengthen the learning
skills, psychological resources, and relationships necessary
for coping with the academic and social challenges of middle
school. A highly engaging self-assessment form explains, in
language which adolescents easily relate to, the importance
and relevance of learning strategies, motivation, emotional
intelligence, attention, and relationships for achieving and
maintaining success.
Comprehensive in content and positive and normalizing
in tone, even
reluctant or resistant adolescents respond openly and non-defensively,
revealing detailed, useful information about themselves that
you can really work with. Facets of Success goes beyond evaluation
and includes specific strategies for strengthening learning
skills, dealing with self-doubts, managing moods, and improving
relationships, providing a direct link between assessment
and intervention.
Facets of Success is suitable for use in a variety
of settings with
adolescents in grades 6 through 10. Any educator, counselor,
or
professional who works with adolescents individually or in
groups will gain deeper insights into their perceived learning
skills and strategies, psychological resources, beliefs, stresses,
relationships, and environmental supports. So every student
can be understood and helped to strengthen the skills and
tap the resources for success.
