Synopsis

Each year millions of very smart students drop out of high school and college for non-financial reasons. It is a troubling problem that highlights the need for students to be more resilient, prepared, and effective at reaching their goals. How can students position themselves to succeed in this increasingly demanding, changing, and competitive world? One way is to learn and practice the basic behaviors necessary to achieve goals. "Self-Management: Understanding Behavioral Competency" offers an innovative approach to help students achieve their goals by clarifying the behaviors that foster success. Behaviors communicate a great deal. Because certain behaviors lead to better academic performance than others, it is essential for students to learn about the relationship between behavior and academic performance. This self-study book introduces a comprehensive self-management model to help students understand their own behavioral decision-making. With this model, the author shows students how their own behavior can affect not only their academic future, but also life after graduation. The book provides a practical framework, how to exercises, and self-tests for individuals, families, and schools seeking to establish, assess, or improve behavioral performance. College and high school faculty that teach student development, management, and student success courses should not be without this invaluable training resource.
