NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfGraduating high school doesn’t just take a knowledge of the core subjects; it also
requires knowing how to navigate the “hidden curriculum” of credit sufficiency,
GPAs, letters of recommendation, and countless other facets of administrative
requirements. In her talk, Estella Evans Hamilton introduces her program, G-SAP
Life, that guides students through the “hidden curriculum” to improve grades and
graduation rates. Estella Evans Hamilton is an educator
with over 30 years of dedicated
experience in education. As an educator
she is committed to student engagement,
empowerment and academic wellness
and excellence. This commitment led to
the development and implementation of
G-SAP Life, a goal-setting action planning process that actively engages students in tracking their academic
progress and improving their GPA with each progress report. This
innovative approach not only fosters a sense of ownership among
students but also cultivates a culture of accountability and
motivation within the school community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
