Students entering high school are embarking on the initial piece of the life-long journey of learning. No doubt the 21st Century demands a different skill set than that of their parents. This book clarifies language, introduces college concepts, discusses the importance of transcripts (and how they follow students forever), delineates the differences between the typical high school class and a dual credit college class, and clearly identifies deliberate actions for academic success. As importantly, empathy, respect, self-efficacy, and support systems are focused upon in terms of the teenage learner. As part of a three-part series, the high school student can truly prepare for the challenges of the four year college as well as professional degrees, master's degrees, and life-long learning. If you're hoping to help develop self-management systems in a teen or class of adolescents, this book will serve as a great resource.
