Learn Your Way! SelfDesigning the Life You Really Want, Starting Now

Learn Your Way! presents some interesting ideas about self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-actualization for senior students. The book includes many activities for students to create and evaluate their own learning paths, which include an analysis of their values, beliefs, attitudes, and habits, and how they relate to their personal goals. Activities for turning these goals from dream to reality are also included. The use of mind maps and mandalas are particularly engaging. The author’s focus on sustainability issues and how they relate to a student's journey in life is timely and empowering. A strength of the book is the author’s use of examples from different cultures, and historical as well as modern examples to support or illustrate his points. Teachers could use this resource for topics in health and career education, such as examining students' skills, learning styles, setting goals, envisioning their future, etc. The appendices in the book can be used as stand-alone lessons, covering material such as media awareness, stress management strategies, and conflict resolution skills. This resource broadly meets the underlying skills and learning outcomes for Health and Career Education and Planning 10.
