Far richer, far more comprehensive and far more results-generating than any other
experience of its type, we believe Great Expectations is the finest, most complete
college and career readiness process for teenagers ever.
And we think you're going to agree.
The following is a look at the key features and benefits.
The Great Expectations Program for High-Potential Teenagers:
(1)
Puts a world-class college and career readiness process within
the financial reach of every teenager in America.
(2)
Builds the 10 skills and attitudes top college admissions officials and Fortune
500 executives want most in new students and employees.
(3)
Fills a critical void in the curriculums at 50,000 American secondary schools.
(4)
Was designed by corporate HR executives, university professors and
Fortune 500 trainers - - not school teachers or school administrators.
(5)
Is equally valuable to all teenagers from all backgrounds, including all "at-risk" teens.
(6)
Is the only readiness process proven to raise student grades,
aspirations and college attendance rates.
(7)
Shows every indication of lowering teen bullying rates, teen
drop-out rates and teen delinquency rates.
(8)
Can be provided by most every public secondary school in America
via existing school resources, and without any added expense
to taxpayers or parents.
(9)
Can help eliminate billions of dollars in education reform spending every year, plus
billions of additional dollars every year in unnecessary private-sector spending.
(10)
Is based on a Fortune 500 weave design method that's measurable and accountable
at 5 levels: Satisfaction, Learning, Application, Impact and Return-on-Investment
(11)
Brings proper balance to American secondary school curriculums by putting college
and career readiness on a par with every other major subject from the start
of Grade 6 to the end of Grade 12.
(12)
Delivers ten-times more training than every leading public program for adults,
including the world-famous Dale Carnegie Course.
(13)
Raises teen aspirations and confidence levels first to spur greater
achievement and a bigger commitment to education
(14)
Gives the reinforcing of skills over time the focus it requires to make new habits permanent.
(15)
Builds critical life and leadership skills twenty years earlier in life than every comparable
Fortune 500 process, and when habits are still developing, time is available to build and
reinforce skills properly, and important decisions about college and a career
path have yet to be made.
(16)
Includes the likelihood of between 3 and 9 college credits for every graduate.
(17)
Adds an extremely impressive credential to college applications.
(18)
Contributes dramatically to more and better business/education partnerships.
(19)
Has the "overwhelming support" of over 98% of (3,000) surveyed parents, Fortune 500
human resources executives and university admissions officials.
(20)
Eliminates a huge burden on American higher education and American business
by giving all teenagers the skills they need to be successful before
finishing high school, not after starting college or a job.
(21)
Is equally effective as an extracurricular activity, an elective course, or as a
standard part of school curriculums.

THE BALANCING OF
KNOWLEDGE & SKILL
"As we know, an American secondary education is primarily intended to provide critical knowledge. But many experts today say the acquiring of critical life skills during the teen years is equally important.
Great Expectations is designed to help bring about a better balance."

WHAT PARENTS SAY
Over 90% of surveyed parents strongly agree that comprehensive leadership training should be a standard part of a first-rate secondary education.
Isn't it time we bring into better balance the acquiring of critical knowledge and the acquiring of critical life skills during middle school and high school?

FROM A FORMER
COMPETITOR
"A Great Expectations graduate will have experienced more personal growth, received more strength coaching, celebrated more victories, been more inspired, delivered more talks, made more new friends, impressed more new people, built more critical skills and had more fun in the process than most non-graduates will have in several decades.
It's that potent."

FROM THE CEO
OF AT&T
New York Times reporter, Bob Herbert, published an op-ed article on May 17, 2008 entitled Hard Roads Ahead. The article laments the fact American secondary schools, once the envy of the world, now rank near the bottom when compared to other developed countries in a host of key categories, including reading, math and high school graduation rates.
So what's the problem?
AT&T CEO, Randall Stephenson, thinks it has everything to do with poor skill development, and the failure of American secondary schools to give teenagers the practical skills they need for college and "the real world of work."
And Mr. Stephenson
should know.
AT&T was for years the world's #1 buyer of leadership skills training designed and directed by Drs. Ashby & Pell.

Why wait years and spend billions of dollars 'studying' the problem? A major part of the solution is available now!"
