RESH 180: Geared to Maximize Student Success

March 12, 2010 - PRLog -- The educational crisis in California had reached historic levels. Budget cuts, struggling academic achievement and student safety are covered daily in the news. But with every crisis, comes an opportunity to provide hope and meaningful solutions. That's where Dr. Adam Ybarra comes in - he's developed a Youth Motivation Curriculum and Program on DVD called Raising, Expectations, Standards and Honor (RESH 180). His goal is to reach one million students, providing tools to help them discover their purpose, raise their expectations, and provide a new lens with which to view the world.
  The RESH 180 Program will improve the academic and personal success of at-risk students by empowering them with skills to acknowledge their assets, gain personal responsibility, maximize personal and educational goals, and guide them in discovering and fulfilling their life purpose. Promoting a young people’s assets & strengths, and guiding them to a purposeful life are the core elements of the RESH 180 Program. Personal and social competencies include-

   * Critical thinking and reasoning skills
   * Knowledge of essential life skills
   * Personal and social responsibility
   * Positive family communication
   * Self-discipline and self-regulation
   * Planning for the future
   * Sense of connectedness and social integration.
