Bummer!
But it doesn't have to be.
Rather than carrying on with traditional schooling, take this time to find out each child's strengths using Thrively.
What is Thrively?
Thrively gives every child a strength-based assessment that uncovers the student’s talents, interests, and abilities. It also shows them via short videos the kind of lives and careers others have pursued who have similar strengths. Next, Thrively shows them how to pursue their interests via face-to-face and online activities, videos, experiences, and apps to inspire and challenge students- all personalized to their unique strengths. Finally, Thrively provides a digital portfolio for students to capture and share their accomplishments.This video provides an overview of Thrively.
There is finally a free tool that enables us to know and grow every child’s genius. Not only that, you can help students learn in ways that are tied to their interests and strengths.
Another plus for teachers is that you can group together students who share strengths and learning styles to work collaboratively on projects of interest.
Sound interesting? You, your child, or students can get started by visiting Thrively.com and joining, then take your free strength assessment.
