Developmental guidance systems also affect the ongoing development needed for gender equality. With such a system in place, students grow as individuals based on unique qualities nurtured through educational experiences. For example, students learn they are equal when they experience the self-concept series and weave. They learn about their unique differences in developmental guidance experiences and learn ways they can contribute because of their differences. Students experience developing their strengths and learning to value the contributions of others in both genders.

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.
