Course Description

Does your 7th / 8th grader know who they are? Can they identify their long and short-term goals? What would they say if you asked them what they would like to leave as their legacy? Help your student answer those questions and gain a community of "champions" to join their team! This class will help your student answer the questions: who am I, what is my legacy? In return, they will earn the right to join the Ethos community of champions. Students will explore the Ethos platform and identify the 4 Pillars (Identity, Purpose, Values, Vision & Purpose) and develop their own legacy plan. Ethos Education Group, LLC (Ethos) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to engage, educate, and empower students with the Ethos Pedagogy – cultivating identity development, offering supplemental learning opportunities, and providing a diverse community of mentors. The Ethos Pedagogy is a customizable character development program that was designed to improve student’s educational experience by redefining success through a firm understanding of identity and self-value, while also providing the resources they need to support the goals associated with that understanding. It leverages the social worth of celebrity athletes, entertainers, and highly esteemed professionals from various industries as a means to connect with impressionable youth through a variety of interactive curriculum courses that support the common goals of children, families, and educators. Some youth struggle with serious personal and social issues while others are focused, motivated, and already achieving great things. By supporting the character development of each student, and providing resources that support their self-identity, purpose, values and vision, the Ethos Pedagogy offers value, opportunity, and resources to every student at every level by envisioning the very best possibility for each participant and meeting them where they are.
