Let’s CHOP It Up! Conversations that Lead to Personal, Academic, and Social Success 1st Edition

Description

FINALLY, a fresh and exciting “Success” curriculum that grabs students’ attention and does not let go! “Let’s CHOP It Up” is a fiction novel/work-textbook that follows the storyline of five friends as they navigate their emerging adulthoods, life’s uncertainties, and personal victories! “Let’s CHOP It Up’s” curriculum is a cross between life’s daily suspense with comedy and student-preferred and much-needed self-help topics and guides!

Dr. Hambric, the author of “Let’s CHOP It Up,” uses a convincing, laidback, storytelling, and conversational approach to deliver a dynamic study and application of psychological, educational, and neurological scholarly, critical thinking learning theories. Dr. Hambric easily uses these universal and researched-based theories to facilitate advanced forms of capturing and developing academic concepts including reading, note-taking, writing, and quantitative development—while helping students define and guide their academic, personal, and professional success. Throughout the entire teaching and learning experience, Dr. Hambric emphasizes her signature touch by encouraging the readers to progress via her exposed internal dialogue, step-by-step explanations, and humor during their one-on-one written exchanges.

To solidify each student’s success, Dr. Hambric engages professional partners to help promote autonomy for each learner. Students are encouraged to use in-depth professional self-assessment instruments to 1) Help them identify, develop, and cultivate their values as they develop self-esteem and practice values-based reasoning and 2) to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses using them as measures for personal, academic, and professional growth.

Finally, students are expected to continually develop these scholarly concepts and apply their new critical thinking and self-management skills to shape and holistically strengthen their essential selves—their cognitions, emotions, and behaviors, thus ultimately producing sustainable motivation and strategies that facilitate their desired success!
