Teaching Life Skills for Student Success
Gamble, Baxter
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers, v81 n6 p40-41 Sep 2006
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) recognized that their graduates were still struggling to find employment. They also concluded that those graduates who found employment were having difficulty retaining their jobs. Chicago educators hired the company All Students Can Learn to write curriculum that addresses employability skills for junior high school students through university students and adults entering the workforce. CPS then piloted this curriculum with great success. This article describes teachers' and students' responses toward this curriculum.
