This seminar/workshop delivered course is designed to enhance development of a student’s goal achievement and personal responsibility skills.  Emotionally intelligent teachers or trainers will be able to model as well as talk about the thoughts and behaviors most important to a person’s goal and academic achievement and personal well-being.  The skills learned in this course provide a research derived and validated approach to help learners identify, understand and develop specific behaviors related to critical thinking skills.  

This seminar/workshop uses the Personal Responsibility Map as a starting point for individual and group focused interventions emphasizing experiential and skill based learning experiences to improve learner achievement and personal effectiveness.  This model encourages self-awareness, self-understanding, and positive personal change within the context of a supportive relationship. The Personal Responsibility Map measures the following areas: goal-setting, self-efficacy, values congruence, achievement drive, supportive environment, self-esteem, self-management, problem solving, and resiliency.
