This provides a supportive and caring environment while students learn skills that will help them stay in school such as effective communication, anger management, goal setting, and study skills. Positive self-regard and regard for others motivate students to learn how to be more successful and to feel more successful in school. This course offers students a supportive environment in which to learn and practice skills that will assist them in meeting their aftercare goals, an essential goal being improving or maintaining success in their school life. This course provides another option for students who want to receive extra help in English, Social Studies, Math, or Science.
