Model and Pattern in “12 Conversations”
Guide Students and Parents to Achieve Success
Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE: FC), the
company behind The 7 Habits series and The Leader in Me, and Simon
& Schuster Children’s Publishing Division announced today the
release of The Middle School Student’s Guide To Academic
Success: 12 Conversations for College and Career
Readiness.
Authored by twin brothers Blake and Bo Nemelka, The Middle
School Student’s Guide to Academic Success: 12 Conversations for
College and Career Readiness, offers students clear, accessible
advice and opportunities for reflection on key topics to help them
to succeed in school and in a career, as well as effective ways for
parents and guardians to help them along the way.
“Middle school is full of changes—maybe it’s a new school, or
complicated friendships, or maybe it’s a combination of a lot of
things,” said Blake Nemelka, Ph.D. student at Purdue University and
co-author of The Middle School Student’s Guide to Academic
Success. “Our book gives parents and students a way to discuss
these immense changes, allowing both to achieve the results they
seek.”
The 12 Conversations feature topics students can use in school,
in college and in life.
- Internships & Work Experience
- Money Management & Scholarships
- Grade Point Average (GPA)
- College Application Process
- Extra- & Co-Curricular Activities
Each conversation is structured in four parts, Listen, Learn,
Reflect and Act, so students understand and apply the concepts.
The authors also provide an accountability model based on four
principles: Desire, Act, Endure and Achieve.
These conversations and principles enable readers to lay out a
strategy, set and achieve goals, and establish a pattern for
success in college and in a career.
This book promotes effective thinking, action, and encourages
students as they prepare to face the many challenges and
opportunities in their future. It is the ultimate guide to helping
students not only become successful middle schoolers, but
successful people.
“Middle school isn’t something you have to endure or get
through,” said Bo Nemelka, Yale graduate and co-author of The
Middle School Student’s Guide to Academic Success. “It can be
and should be one of the most important times in your life. With
this guide, you can begin to lay a real foundation for your future
success.”
