Help High School Seniors Design Their Lives

My San Diego County high school seniors are prototyping a new type of senior project based on Stanford University research. You can help starting next week.

During the first six weeks of this school year, we’re reading Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived Joyful Life, by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. (Learn more at http://designingyour.life and watch the TED talk here.) The skills and background knowledge our seniors build through this process will better prepare them for tomorrow’s dynamic economy.

Here’s what you can do: The course requires students to hold a series of “Life Design Conversations” with adults with careers, hobbies, or experiences that interest them. This part of the project consists of informal phone or video conversations with students taking 30 minutes or less. If you can you help, please complete this form.

More information is available on the form. Please feel free to share the form with anyone who might contribute. Thanks!
