Review and FAQ's answered on the NEW Synergy Careers Workbook
Thank you to my Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC) colleagues who have taken up the invite to review the workbook and provide feedback.
Tom Farrell of Careers News highlighted in his review of the Workbook several key benefits to this additional resource: reinforcement of learning, encouragement of independent practice, tracking progress and self-paced learning
Review:
“The workbook will play a crucial role in reinforcing concepts seen in the webinars. They provide structured exercises that allow students to apply new knowledge immediately. This hands-on practice helps solidify understanding and improves memory retention. The task of creating worksheets that students could use for each webinar is all done for you.….
….Teachers can use the workbook to help students track their grasp of the points made in the webinars. Completed pages reveal which topics are well understood and which need more attention. This makes it easier to target specific areas for improvement and plan further instruction. This enables the guidance counsellor plan for follow up work as required.”
