A request - Teen Mentoring/Time management/Goal setting resources
July 24, 2005
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to put together some training for the teenage interns where I work. I would like to use resources geared towards goal setting, time management, study habits, and other helpful information. Due to the nature of our program, I kind of have to stick with the theme of professional development.
I'm reading _The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens_ and finding it to be socio-culturally insensitive. While I do find merit in the idea of proactivity, I don't think the Covey folks accurately (or fairly) represent the challenges the people of color and/or low-income families face. I am looking for books that will not make my interns feel bad about their parents' financial difficulties, among other things. (I got so mad at the seven habits book that I nearly flung it across the room, but it still has some valuable information in it, even though it was written by a privileged, bigoted asshole.)
If any of you are aware of such a book, please let me know. If any of you would like to help me write curriculum on a volunteer basis...also let me know!
Comments are down, so Email me if you have any suggestions.
Thanks!
