Youth at risk: doing our part

Article Abstract:

Educators need to help the large number of American youth who are at risk of becoming non-productive members of society. Dysfunctional families, poverty, homelessness, neglect, abuse, drugs, pregnancy, delinquency, mental illness and school-related problems are all factors contributing to the state of American "youth at risk." Educational strategies to help youth include effective program development and evaluation, collaboration with family members and the community, public policy formulation and personal involvement.

Using learning styles to empower youth and families

Article Abstract:

Students can be more successful in school if parents and teachers match the educational system to their students' learning styles. Learning styles can be visual, auditory, manipulative or global. Moreover, studies show that greater parental expectations motivate children to achieve more. Active parental involvement in the educational process fosters a positive learning attitude among children and consequently helps them develop self-confidence, perseverance, initiative and curiosity.

Youth, money, and financial planning

Article Abstract:

Teenagers should be educated about personal financial planning because they have significant levels of disposable income but are ill-equipped to make financial decisions. Teenagers can be taught financial planning concepts through teaching guides, visual aids and practical games such as the stock market game. Consumer education programs such as the High School Financial Planning Program (HSFPP) are also useful.
