“Guiding the individual student to develop practices, leading to habits, which can make his life happier, and helping him achieve his personal goals and contribute to his society in better ways are inherent in positive psychology and greatly enhance our work at learning for living. We expanded our operations and support systems by developing an essential database and cloud-contained knowledge system which reflects every aspect of learning for living's theoretical and on-the-ground practical work: our government, program curriculum, teaching and coaching methodology, facilitator training, program evaluations, as well as needed information about u.s. Colleges and college student achievements and concerns, our fundraising audiences and messages, and our in-house legal, financial, human resources, administrative, and technical work and the upkeep of our physical plant. We also created a cloud-based reference library to house information about our resourcing and partnering organizations and, most crucially, the groups and individuals we are most fully equipped to serve. We brought on board a management and a hiring consultant, and followed these by hiring a database developer, an editor, and three new support staff. Most significantly, we continue to work with an experienced professional writer/editor and with our highly-respected life skills methods developer and evaluator to research, develop, and shape our methods manual into well-organized chapters which describe the facilitator's skills needed in our learning for living programs, the expected student questions or statements and the many possible coaching responses facilitators can give, and tracking of the individual student from where they are in the present moment through their achievement of their individual learning objectives relevant to the program topic. We undertake this project because detailed wording of exactly what the facilitator might say specifically to a college student to engage, encourage, guide or help him find his own best answers re. The program's life skills content, rarely exists in life skills teaching manuals and is essential in order to successfully teach life skills. The methods manual will serve as the textbook for our facilitator trainings and life skills programs. This was a strong year's work for our small, but dedicated staff. Several essential, high-quality, innovative life skills educational elements were created through this work developed at the learning for living institute. We empower college-age young people with the skills they need to live successful lives”
