Speaking Skills for Teens trains students to learn effective speaking skills and also motivates students to view themselves and their classmates in an optimistic manner. Because they can find only positives in each talk given by their peers, that is the way they start viewing each presenter even before the talk begins. Through active participation, students learn how to maximize their speaking skills, their poise, and their recognition of their own skills and abilities. In addition to learning actual skills—openings, evidence, closings, body language, and attitude training, participants learn how to use their voice to produce the greatest effect. They have the opportunity to practice being as they would like to be. Participants will learn far more than speaking skills. They learn how to take responsibility for how they feel, how they act, how they react. The training allows them to see people in a more positive manner. They learn how to “read” people and become aware of how they themselves are “read.” Students evaluate every speaker in writing immediately after their talk. Only positive comments are allowed—for substance, delivery, or impact. The teacher writes an area for improvement on a card and will add a positive statement immediately after each talk that only the speaker sees. At the end of the course, each student receives the evaluations from every classmate. While participants may eventually forget facts and figures learned elsewhere, they will retain much of what they master in this course, because they will have constant opportunities to be on their feet and institute that which they have learned. They will also have many opportunities to laugh, cry, and genuinely feel good—perhaps the greatest way to solidify their learning!
Kids helping kids provides growth for both the mentor and the student being mentored. The goal is to provide teens with the tools necessary to participate to their fullest in and outside the school community. Mentors learn and then teach leadership skills to their mentorees. Skills include communication skills, body language, human relation skills and much more. Their support of their mentorees opens the door for success in school and for personal self-development for these teens. The major benefits of Kids Mentoring Kids is reduced incidents of bullying, improved individual self-concepts, improved grades, and improved attitudes. The program was initially designed for students who needed help, whether academically or socially; however, the mentors also benefitted from the mentoring experience. Statements such as “I felt important.” “It was the first time I felt looked up to.” “I like the fact that I can be trusted and that I can help someone else.” “I know that I need someone to talk to sometimes—being there for someone else is great.” “I’ve learned that I can be a bigger person, a person to go to in a time of trouble,” and “I loved helping the underclassmen” were typical of the responses from the mentors on follow-up of the programs. The responses from parents of those being mentored were also positive. A typical response is from one mother who said her son actually looks forward to going to school. Before that, he was scared to leave his home. Teachers commented on improved grades of those being mentored. The primary goals for both mentor and mentoree include enhanced self-esteem, acceptance, validation, and self-actualization. Teens learn how they can be the best that they can be and teach their mentorees the same.
