Reality Check - Motivating & Preparing Teens For Their Future

Motivating & Preparing Teens For Their Future

Do you have students that you know are bright, good kids but who just can’t seem to get motivated?

Do you know kids who, if you could just connect with them and point them in the right direction, have a chance to succeed?

Are there kids you’ve tried numerous ways to reach, but you simply haven’t gotten to yet?

Give ’em a Reality Check!

Give ’em a boost! Many times, students simply need to be shown how to be successful. They need to learn how to develop a positive attitude that leads to a higher degree of motivation. Through a unique approach, Reality Check takes students through a learning process that shows them the realities of life and the workplace.

Reality Check is an interactive CD-based video software program that can be administered to a class or as an individual activity. Utilizing a series of quizzes and lessons, Reality Check uses live action video, positive reinforcement, and repetition to cover core concepts offered in five major areas.

Concepts Covered

Reality Check - Your Potential Is Huge! Many people in America start with nothing and end up doing really well. Here we show students that they don’t need to be the biggest or brightest student in class, but through perseverance and doing something they love, success will come naturally.

Your Career Ladder Students learn how a game plan will more effectively help them reach their career goals by discussing how to connect their dreams to their career major, classes, and goals.

Motivation - How Do You Find It? Students learn how to develop their motivation and a positive attitude. They learn that connecting a hobby or interest to a career major is a good way to develop meaningful goals. Meaningful goals are a key to motivation, and developing a positive attitude.

The Value of Your Education What is Educational Return on Investment (EROI)? Reality Check compares a two-year degree in computers to a four-year degree in romance languages. Students learn that taxpayers pay a national average of $5,300 per year per student. Over 12 years that is a total of $63,600. Students are challenged to consider what they have to show for that much money.

School vs Work-based Learning In school, a student’s performance really only affects him or her. At the worksite, many people will be depending on him to do a good job. Reality Check compares the styles of both school-based and work-based learning.
