Search Schools
Hey, want a pro tip for the Forget the Rankings sorting activity? Use two card decks so the student and family can sort at the same time - it's way better for getting honest thoughts. Let the student share their top values first, so they don't feel pressured by what their family thinks. Then, coach everyone to really listen to each other without judging.
It's all about understanding different viewpoints, you know?
Picture this: you're with a family drowning in college stress, but then you break out the Forget the Rankings cards and everything shifts. Suddenly, they're uncovering shared values, having real talks about differences, and you can literally see the understanding dawning on their faces. It's not just warm fuzzies - you're building the foundation for a truly meaningful college search while strengthening family bonds. In the end, you're not just helping pick a school - you're creating those big family moments that stick with them long after the college decision's made.
