As the world of education shifts to a virtual or blended learning environment, schools, teachers and parents need support and guidance in knowing how to use the latest technology tools and strategies in any content area. Allow Kevin to share his e-learning expertise to help your educators reach their students and provide them with quality educational strategies.
As a Google Certified Trainer, Kevin is up to date on all things Google and holds several other distance learning certifications to bring you the latest strategies and tech tools to simplify the learning process and "meet students where they are" in terms of technology use.
Kevin has done work with several schools within the NYCDOE and other school districts to help prepare teachers for distance and hybrid learning. He can do the same for you.
Journey to Success
Planning for success is much like planning a ROAD TRIP! You need to know where you’re going, why you’re going, and how you’ll get there. You’ll also need to pack the necessary tools to ensure you’re equipped for the ride and prepared for arrival. Participants explore the Six Steps to develop a Personal Success Strategic Plan (PSSP).
Participants will learn to:
• understand where they want to go in life and why;
• create better goals and strategies to achieve them;
• use self motivation and hard work to keep moving; and
• make adjustments when things don’t go as planned.
The program can also be customized to teach students:
-
how to select the college that is right for you;
-
what skills do colleges and employers look for in successful candidates;
-
how to "wow" them in the interview;
-
the ins and outs of financial aid for college;
-
the importance of time management and organization.
This program is ideal for Freshman transitioning into high school, Juniors at the beginning of the college selection process, and Seniors preparing to make the transition to life after high school - whether it is college, work, the military or any other option they have in mind.
Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship
Many schools would love to teach financial management to their students, but due to state education requirements and budget restrictions are not able to fit this valuable information into the curriculum or have teachers qualified to teach it. Kevin has a degree in Banking and Finance and has been working in the world's largest school system (NYC) for over 20 years. Students will learn valuable information regarding financial management. The program is standards-based and will teach students, among other things:
-
how to establish different types of bank accounts
-
how to write a check and balance a checkbook
-
how to read a paystub (taxes and deductions)
-
the importance of investing and different types of investment instruments
-
the good and the bad of using credit
-
buying a home vs. renting, leasing vs. buying a car
-
how to identify the traits of an entrepreneur
-
how to outline and develop a business idea
-
how to develop a sales and marketing strategy
-
how to launch and grow the business
-
and much more
The program will help prepare students to manage their finances upon graduation as they venture into college or the world of work.
