DTD workshops are motivational exercises that demonstrate the connection between A.R.E. ™ concepts and academic and career success. The dynamic presentations, or SMART decks™, are fully customizable and suitable for clients from any background. Again, the goal is to help students become better decision-makers and problem-solvers. Themed workshops include:
- Power skills
- Networking
- Time management
- Effective communication
- Accountability. Resiliency. Exposure.
- Interviews, letters and resumes
- Concepts based on Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People - Thinking and performing at the top level
- Creating specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (S.M.A.R.T.) goals (There I go again.)
The workshops help students to:
- Develop clear education and career goals
- Identify strengths, navigate challenges and seize opportunities
- Develop strategies and action plans
- Engage in interactive role playing
- Improve communication skills
But teachers and administrators also derive benefits from the experience, including:
- Added value to the academic degree
- Customized educational workshops that align the goals of teachers with the needs of students
- Improved student engagement and achievement
- Online materials that make the workshops come to life
“Our students and faculty took the points you made back into the classroom and enjoyed exciting discussions as a result of the thought provoking ideas you presented. For our students this partnership is a “win-win” opportunity”.
