Strengths at Work

The ability to collaborate and work in teams is an essential skill for the workforce. Giving students opportunities to practice these skills continues to be a part of the high school experience, but this year it is taking a new form. Kearny’s Digital Media and Design sophomores are working with the Youth Advocacy team to activate their voices. They took the StrengthsQuest assessment and explored some deep reflection with the results. This unique assessment helps them understand more about themselves, their leadership style, and the way they function in groups. These discoveries will help them pick their project groups for their upcoming PBL partnership with Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
