Download or read book High School Survival Guide written by Vanessa P. Girard and published by Backintyme. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A transition guide to prepare students socially and culturally for the high school experience. Individual chapters provide insights and exercises to help students cope with diversity and its inherent themes of self-esteem/identity, stereotyping, perception and oppression. Truancy is a major challenge with middle and high school students. This challenge is secondary to growing attitudes of apathy and nihilism, which may be a direct result of feelings of being unprepared and culturally incompetent. This book is designed to address these challenges by helping students to build healthy self-esteem through identifying similarities and respecting differences across cultures (cliques, high school vs middle school, ethnic, etc.) and to develop a sense of purpose. A confident student with a purpose is more likely to attend class and apply him or herself. Additionally, this book is designed to support the teacher, promote education, define and build self-esteem, discourage stereotyping, and teach students to investigate the big picture before drawing conclusions or forming an opinion through awareness of the complexities of perception. It is a tool that promotes a positive outlook while sneaking in learning in the process. Dr. Vanessa Girard is a Creole, born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She and her siblings struggled with identity throughout adolescence, being teased by their African American brother-in-law that they didn't "have a flag." Her work with a Native American tribe in Arizona sparked a passion to learn about mono-cultural perspectives, with hopes that the quest would lead her to self-discovery. She found that her multiethnic heritage has provided her with an extraordinaryability to empathize and relate across races, and in that realization, she feels more accepted by others. "I am not Black, or White, or Hispanic, or Native American; I am all of them and that's okay!" Dr. Girard has worked in the field of education for 15 years in various capacities, as a teacher, dean of students, community educator and assistant director of education. She possesses a B.A. in Education from Arizona State University, and an M.A. in Education and a Doctorate in Management and Organizational Leadership from the University of Phoenix.
