Set teens (and staff) up for success
How to Change the World has a great post on How to Not Choke. Too often kids (and adults) are conditioned for failure rather than success. This reminds me of when I was working in Nashua and there was a middle schooler on the honor roll that the school tried to talk out of taking harder classes. They didn’t see the point as a Latino kid from a tough part of town wasn’t expected to succeed and go to college. This is important with our staff as well.
