Core Course #2: That Thing Called Education - Education Readiness and Vocational Needs <br />to the majority population. Thus, we will invite some Latino and other minority speakers who <br />have excelled in the world of higher education. In order to achieve the described objectives, we <br />use the questions below to guide the discussion. <br /> Did you like school? <br /> Why or why not? <br /> How prevalent is/was drug use among students at your school? <br /> How prevalent is/was drag trafficking at your school? <br /> _ What percentage of your friends and associates from your school engaged in criminal behavior <br /> according to your best estimation? <br /> Did your teachers seem to truly care about you? <br /> Did the counselors at your school appear to truly care about you? <br /> Did you feel that the school officials favor some groups of students over other groups? <br /> What were your extracurricular activities? <br /> If you have none, why not? <br /> How many of you had an "A" average? A "B" average? A "C" average? A "D" or lower <br /> average? <br /> What coold have helped your academic performance? <br /> Do you feel that the Fuerzas Unidas Program is helpful? <br /> What are your educational goals? <br /> What are your career goals? <br /> How do you plan to achieve them? <br /> What can this program do to help you achieve these goals? <br />The areas listed above will also be covered with the youth on an individualized basis. CHCADA <br />will ensure that all participants are always treated like "royalty" so that their already-fragile self- <br />esteem will be strengthened. <br /> <br /> Core Course #3: Interpersonal Skills: Improving Family Skills <br /> <br />Ii COURSE DESCRIPTION <br /> <br /> Family interaction is a primary interpersonal relationship. And, indeed, the participant <br />cannot truly advance his/her individual status without the application of therapeutic assistance to <br />the whole of his/her family. The individual counseling time slots will be subdivided into <br />individual family groups and individual sessions. This temporary structure will allow the <br />counselor to more easily cover a subject that is broad in scope and simultaneously quickly carry <br />thematic issues from Forum to Family Group to the participant. All family members have <br />interacted with each other by using poor interpersonal skills from time to time. Parents have not <br />always been there for their children and children have failed to meet parental expectations. <br />Siblings have sometimes competed with each other rather than provide much needed support and <br />understanding. The purpose of this course is that of allowing family members to point out to <br />each other behaviors that have caused them pain. <br /> <br />II. COURSE OBJECTEVES <br /> After completing this session, each participant will be able to: <br />· Define family and describe the historic role that the family has played in Latino and other cultures: <br />· Family as a source of socialization and acculturation; <br />· Family as a source of companionship; <br /> <br />CHCADA's Response to RFP# PY2002 Page 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
