New Guide Utilizes Family, Community to Give Students Guidance
Fort Gratiot, MI (PRWEB) July 24, 2014 -- Fort Gratiot, Mich. – According to a 2013 Ipsos Reid poll, 24% of high school students in Canada don’t know what they want to do after graduation. Author Keith Bricker has worked with students for more than 43 years as an advisor, counselor and educator. While Bricker believes high school students should be thinking about their careers, he also believes this thought process should begin sooner and in a different manner.
Bricker invites educators and parents alike to read his new guide, “Academic Enhancement Tools: Power in Family Relationships Builds Student Academic Success” (published by Trafford Publishing), which advocates for importance on the familial unit in a child’s education and eventual career choice.
“Academic Enhancement Tools” differs from many competency guides and career maps in that it focuses on students 12 to 15 years of age and stresses the importance of one’s family. Bricker believes that while educators help one decide on a potential career plan, family has the ultimate and final say in the matter.
Bricker aims to not only encourage parents with helping their child decide on a career, but also help students decide on what courses they will need to enhance their potential careers. He also hopes to provide a connection between school, higher education and the business community.
“The process of this manual could be viewed as a pre-step to our traditional educational career material,” Bricker says.
