Book: How children Succeed Paul Tough
(chapter 4) This chapter shares stories about how to succeed and offers examples of how others have done so. It does a good job of delineating the difference between entering college and access, college retention by continuing studies year after year, and graduation.
It also speaks to how important non-cognitive skills are to learning and ultimately to graduating. Non-cognitive academic skills are considered those which include time management, positive studying skills and work habits, problem-solving skills and the ability to seek help. In a paragraph, please write about something that you found compelling in this chapter and that made you think about your own education and lifelong learning.
(chapter 5) This chapter speaks to a college education and the idea that there are different types of education beyond just attending college. It talks about failure and how people define failure individually. The chapter leads to a discussion about education and poverty and how those two variables influence each other. It also speaks to institutions beyond schools which influence communities, peoples and ultimately individual student learning.
In this section, please share a time when a personal defeat which seemed overwhelming at the time eventually turned into a teachable and influential moment for you
OR
please comment on how school systems, unions, and governmental initiatives and laws influence the educational outcomes of students and thus communities (and entire groups of people) as a whole. Please provide an example of this from your own experiences.
