Pasaporte a la educación HYbrid Approach
For Elementary, Middle & High Schools
Pasaporte a la Educación Virtual & In-person Hybrid Programs make a positive impact on the educational future of Hispanic students, decreasing the dropout rate. The programs offer a global mindset and promote global student development which are powerful components of a 21st century education. The programs are an impactful series of bilingual sessions that include a hybrid of in-person and virtual visits with Hispanic guest speakers & leadership coaches, who are role models in the community, plus on-demand videos of inspiring stories by mentors. Students will hear leadership skill set presentations on “What are my Dreams, Achieving success, Positive Affirmations, Attitude is Everything, Flexibility, Goal setting, Good Habits, Human Needs, Decision Making, and Time Management.” Students will be exposed to industry professionals in various careers and learn about skills needed to be successful, and receive educational tools that inspire them to take action on their next level of educational achievement. Higher education information on universities, colleges, scholarships and skill set certifications will be available for students to explore their options. Students will be able to connect with trained leadership coaches through the hybrid virtual/in-person approach.
