THE SOLUTION
The purpose of the Next Level Students Curriculum is to help students today become the best versions of themselves. Most students today have low self-worth, and don't see the value in education. Many of them are plagued with obstacles like peer pressure, bullying, depression, homelessness, substance abuse and issues at home. This curriculum was created to tackle these issues while helping to shape the character of the student. Not only is this curriculum aligned with the common core state standards, but it also features powerful life lessons that give students proven steps to help them change their perspective and outlook on life. The Jeremy Anderson Group, LLC, is fortunate to work with an amazing team of educators with over 54 years of combined classroom experience. What makes this character curriculum so special is that we focus on the whole child. This is a great tool for PBIS implantation because each one of our four modules touches on specific aspects of the student’s behavior, life and future.
