Exploring Proven Strategies and Peer Learning Opportunities

This summer, we invite you to join our book studies focusing on student success. These books emphasize meeting students where they are and supporting them in achieving their goals in school and in life. We anticipate engaging in relevant discussions on proven strategies and connecting with a network of peers from across central Minnesota who are eager to learn from one another.

(Re)Defining the Goal Book Study

Location: Zoom (online)

How can we best prepare students to be successful in the modern workforce? Many students leave education over-educated, under-employed, and facing mounting college costs. Kevin J Fleming has been a leader in career development research and advocate for preparing students to hold a competitive advantage in the modern workforce. We will use this study to learn, assess our own programming, and learn from others perspectives. All meetings will occur via Zoom. Participants are responsible for purchasing their own book.
