The Success Pyramid identifies three essential elements required for successful learning in school and throughout life: Level 1: Confidence The core foundation of learning requires “confidence.” Every teacher knows, when students do not believe in their own abilities, they make no progress. Confidence is not optional; it’s critical! Priscilla Vail, author of Smart Kids with School Problems said it best,…
College is hard. I will be going into my third year at a university and I can honestly say these past two years have kicked my butt! Many of my friends called me a “nerd” in high school because I really cared about my grades and wanted to do well! The teasing was worth it…

But… have no fear! We came across an article that gives some super awesome and creative tips on how to quiet down…

If both, do we get them “college-ready” first, then “career-ready?” The “soft skills” that are in such hot demand from employers, are the same skills that empower students to be successful… from middle school to college!
