Feeling the weight of high school-the courses, the requirements, the credits-and question whether your young adult will be prepared with the skills needed for life? All parents, whether their learners are enrolled in public, private, or home education feel this pressure, at one time or another. Cheryl Bastian, twenty-six year veteran homeschooler, mother of eight, and educational consultant, designed More than Credits: Skills High Schoolers Need for Life, a ready-to-use guide parents and educators can reference as they walk alongside teens and young adults who are acquiring life skills related to five areas of personal development: nutrition and wellness, personal fitness, personal awareness and career exploration, philosophy, and personal finance. Each course framework provides options for personalized learning and intentionally prepares learners to be future-ready while gaining a better understanding of who they are and what they believe. Through the process, high schoolers discover how they can use their unique giftings and strengths to add value and contribute to their communities or workplace. Content offers practical skill acquisition through personalized project-based learning, experiential opportunities and activities, related literature and writing suggestions and meaningful discussion topics and questions. High school is more than checking boxes and meeting requirements. It's about young adults being equipped with the skill sets and emotional intelligence necessary for life beyond graduation.
