"A glance at successful people reveals a simple truth: successful people employ successful habits. Yet in schools, among all of the information and all of the skills that are taught, few concern how to employ and internalize these key habits of success. The Missing Link seeks to place such skills as persistence, self-regulation, decision making, time management, organization, and even the skill of appropriate "work-place social skills" into the strata of critically important learning. This book was written to help professional educators (as well as parents and others) employ straightforward ways to teach success skills without adding to the enormous burdens they already shoulder. This book is a guide to teaching critical success skills in powerful ways by infusing them into the curriculum that is already in place."--book cover.
