How is the Find Your Grind learning journey personalized to each student?
Find Your Grind’s learning journey is personalized from the very beginning, when students take the Find Your Grind Lifestyle Assessment. This assessment helps students better understand themselves now and prepare for the future as well. Students who take the Lifestyle Assessment determine their unique Lifestyle based on their interests and personal strength, develop greater self-awareness of their own identity through a process of self-discovery and reflection, and begin the journey to a greater understanding of who they are now and who they want to become. From there, their journey officially begins! Every activity a student completes helps further personalize their journey according to their individual responses. In particular, our Chat-based and survey templates are designed to capture each individual response in order to share those insights with learners, directly. Each behavior, like, and click is a data point used to shape the learner’s profile. But above that, learners have the agency to refine that profile and “choose again” because, after all, self-awareness is a journey. Additionally, at specific moments throughout the experience, students are asked to “heart” the content or attributes they resonate with most in order to refine their personal results. This is all balanced with constant exposure to “unlikely” aligned content in order to continue to provide options students might otherwise be limited from. Educators have full visibility into students’ personalized experience through their Educator Dashboard, and can help guide their discovery journey along the way.
How long is the Find Your Grind curriculum?
The Find Your Grind curriculum is either 9 or 18 units in length, covering topics such as brand and network, mindset and balance, and financial literacy. Each unit provides 1-2 hours of independent student learning, and is designed for students to spend additional time exploring Find Your Grind’s robust library of mentors, careers and lifestyles. Find Your Grind also provides supplementary lesson plans and offline resources to engage students in the classroom; these resources add additional instructor-led time if the educator chooses to utilize them. Ultimately, Find Your Grind is designed to fit your unique needs – whether it is used as a supplemental resource or the primary curriculum for your class.
How do Find Your Grind’s mentors work?
