Lifestyle Assessment Theory Guide for Educators
Figuring out what career path you want to pursue is hard for anyone. Students today face even more hurdles in a society where many jobs don’t fall into neat little boxes or follow linear paths. Trying to decide if a certain career is a “good fit” is no longer sufficient when it comes to helping students to plan their future.
Today’s youth need guidance and support as they work to determine what lifestyle and experiences will bring them meaning and fulfillment throughout their lives. They need help finding opportunities, forming relationships, and gathering information beyond basic career statistics. In order to provide this type of support, educators need access to resources that address these specific concepts, including effective assessment tools and dynamic curriculum materials.
Inspired by their own experiences, the team at Find Your Grind has made it their mission to assist both educators and students to better navigate this journey of self-discovery. Tools like the Lifestyle Assessment have been created to not only help students to better understand themselves now but help them to prepare for the future as well. Students who take the Lifestyle Assessment will:
Determine their unique Lifestyle based on their interests and personal strengths.
Develop greater self-awareness of their own identity through a process of self-discovery and reflection.
Begin the journey to a greater understanding of who they are now and who they want to become.
“Our purpose is to help individuals discover who they are, where they’re going, and what steps they need to take to get there.“ —Find Your Grind
