The Process
Objectives
The goals and objectives for
the Passion for Potential program are
• To identify elementary
and secondary education teachers who are seeking
a higher level of personal fulfillment and commitment
to helping their students reach their greatest
potential.
• To award experiential
education scholarships to those identified teachers,
which will allow them to explore and unleash their
self-actualized potential.
• To create opportunities
for teachers to make a positive, lasting impact
on the education, aspirations, and goals of today’s
young people.
• To have a measurable
impact on institutional education.
• To support the advancement
of this model as a means of producing desirable
results in both the school and extended community.
• To support educators
in their quest for achieving personal growth through
experiential education.
Methods
Teacher participants are identified
through a rigorous application and interview process,
including recommendations by peers, school administration,
and personal references (see Candidate Profile/Application
page).
Participants selected to receive
a Passion for Potential Scholarship follow the
process outlined below.
Coach’s
Workshop
Participants attend this series of classes led
by experienced instructors who are skilled in
the art of encouraging students by validating
and working with their natural strengths and creating
a positive, safe learning environment.
This allows students to feel
comfortable enough to be honestly challenged.
Currently, workshops are offered with content
focused on skill and knowledge in To Shin Do, a potential-based
martial art.

dream a reality.
Personalized
Budget

a personalized budget for the identified experiential
education program.

education program.
The

process to measure the success and the real-world
