Courses

The student-centered workbook, "Know Thyself" is the course text.  Social and emotional intelligence is discovered and taught from each student's perspective. Personal honesty-integrity is the foundation for greater character development and begins on the inside of the one in mirror.

We teach ourselves how to better understand the conversation between thoughts, emotions and actions. More positive choices can be made and taught when everyone understands the inside and outside connection between integrity, responsibility and purposeful choices.

Results of the …provides solutions that encourage our young people to live with integrity, responsibility and purpose. program are numerous and long lasting. Students love this program and look forward to attending. It is one they often wish would continue after its completion. Disciplinary problems and absences are reduced. Students have greater purpose and focus, and are more interested in their academic endeavors because they are connecting the positive purpose of school to their own futures. Walkin' the Talk faculty members have a common communication link with students when problems arise. They understand the value and power of "living in the question."  Students do "know" their own answers. It's their job to know; "why I do what I do..."

Students appreciate the time for reflection, introspection, inquiry and practice of new behaviors. Music, games, discussions, small groups, videos and private times are techniques used to keep the program moving at a fast pace that keeps students involved and productive.
