Why Schools Need Find A Tree

CHALLENGE ONE

Students Who Lack Motivation to Learn

Too many students struggle academically because they do not see how education connects to their lives and futures. As a result, they do not put in the necessary time and effort to succeed academically.

CHALLENGE TWO

Students Who Achieve Academically but Lack Direction

Many students earn strong grades yet remain uncertain about their dreams, their purpose, and what they want to accomplish beyond graduating and attending college.

ONE SOLUTION: FIND A TREE

Find A Tree addresses both challenges. The program helps students discover a purpose-driven dream, develop a vision for their future, and learn practical strategies for pursuing and realizing their dreams beginning today.

What if student success begins not with academics, but with purpose? When students discover a dream worth pursuing, learning gains meaning. Academic skills become tools for achieving their goals rather than subjects they study simply to pass a test.

By connecting academics to students' dreams, the Find A Tree program helps schools inspire students to identify their dreams, take meaningful steps toward achieving them today, and become more engaged in mastering the academic skills needed to turn those dreams into reality.
"
My students have embraced this program and have literally transformed. Find A Tree is a structured method that supports students, linking education to their dreams. This program has a very grounding and motivating force to help students master their academic subjects.

A Different Model of Education

Traditional education often places academics at the center and expects students to become motivated. Find A Tree reverses the process. We place students' dreams, interests, and aspirations at the center. When students become excited about what they want to achieve, academics gain meaning and purpose. Dreams become the catalyst for learning.
"
I have worked with my students’ academics, but had never known what their hopes and dreams are! ...The Find A Tree Program seems particularly valuable for these students, some of whom are hard to reach.

Why Find A Tree

"
Find A Tree brought a new perspective on how to engage students in their educational endeavors and how those could be connected to their dreams and aspirations. For the first time in years, many students were able to make direct connections between the content they were learning in class and their post-secondary dreams and hopes.
