Because people generally want to become and be involved with people who are trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, just, caring, solid citizens, it is important to help students develop the necessary skills to acquire these traits. Such skills can be taught through a guidance system that affects the ongoing development of character. These skills are a portion of the skills taught through a developmental guidance system.

This Grow With Guidance System formula provides a way professional educators can work smart with results. The formula includes the Grow With Guidance System as a foundation consisting of System components: Behavior Management, Self-Talk/Self-Pictures, Staff Skills (Implementation), Student Skills (Curriculum), Family Involvement and Observation/Evaluation. The goal of each formula is to apply this innovative approach in education that develops students’ spirit, purpose, and potential.

In addition the System Foundation components of the school counseling program are included as appropriate. Expanded information regarding each formula is included in Teaching and Counseling for Today’s World 2nd Edition.
