Life Skills & Assessment

Tara feels it is important to teach teens 'Life Skills' and has an approach to teaching that is unusual to more traditional methods. When the class begins she starts by giving each teen a personality test and assesses the result. She also has them turn in resumes and interviews them. This gives them an important life skill for life. Also, it allows her to understand who they are and how they can be placed in our “business.” In one class we began used EBay to raise funds for our home schools field trip. The kids have learned important 'Life Skills' and in the future they have learned how to earn money.
