Book excerpt: Help teens in the academic middle succeed by creating and valuing other ways to win! Research suggests that more than half of high school graduates are not academically prepared for college, yet they do not have significant learning disabilities preventing them from succeeding in a traditional classroom setting. This timeless bestseller, now in its third edition, has been updated with new data, recommendations, and observations to explore the choices available to these students beyond traditional four-year colleges. Illustrating options that are more accessible and carry a much higher probability of student success, this resource: Dispels the "one way to win" myth Presents "other ways to win" that do not require a four-year college degree Provides benefits for students with alternate forms of post-high school education All teens deserve to succeed regardless of the post-secondary educational path they take. Other Ways to Win can help make it happen.
