When a young person realizes they were born with specific strengths and personal qualities, they begin to see more clearly, not only who they were born to be as a person, but the direction of their life purpose. Their self-awareness allows them to understand the importance of listening to the good in CEIA.
 

In the workbook's mind-maps-from-within, the “Foundation of Relationships” teaches them that that the strongest relationships are built on trust and honesty, beginning with with the one in the mirror.

works because it began with classrooms of young people who continued to ask their curious questions about the world we live in. As naturally as we are born to be, they realized that their inner compass and our society's messages weren't saying the same thing.  The inner chaos had no place to go. As they were encouraged to write, draw, and put a voice to their confusion "Know Thyself ~ Socrates" was born. 

Inter and intra personal skills are most powerfully taught from the inside out.

works because it guides students through a program where core values such as respect, honesty, responsibility, accountability, teamwork and fairness are learned through the process of creating a new sense of self-worth. It begins when they remove their own blocks to self-honesty, self-esteem, and ultimately self-awareness. The workbook activities allow the students to probe into the roots of their frustrations, concerns, hopes, and dreams.  They learn how to take responsibility for redirecting their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

is a unique program that develops character in our young people, from the greater good in them.  It teaches how to "stay true to the good in you."

First they learn the power of the message, the non-verbal communication.  They learn they are absolutely responsible for every message they send verbal and non-verbal.

takes students inside themselves to learn, reflect and understand "How To" make positive choices by seeing why they make negative choices.  Positive cognitive happens through self-awareness, reflection and personal integrity.

focuses on the goals of each student. They are encouraged and inspired to create their goals, dreams, and aspirations.  They devise a "Game Plan" and "Road Map" to achieve their goals.  This "Road Map" contains their choices and tools to accomplish their goals. They identify the roadblocks that detour their success. 

"Ownin' my own stuff" inspires students to tell themselves the truth-admit to their own positive and negative choices.

During this process each student gets to look at current behaviors and identify those that work and those that don't work.  It is during this specific process that two powerful changes occur.  First, students learn and start to understand why they do what they do. Second, they learn they are at choice and they will pay or get paid for every choice they make. Good choices lead to positive results. Poor choices lead to negative results.
