Tanya R. Small

Small believes that most students would succeed if they knew how to examine themselves in terms of their habits, self-perception and beliefs. "Character Circle", a program that brings groups of kindergarten through sixth-grade students together, along with their guides, to discuss techniques that will help them to achieve academic success from the inside out. Small's program empowers students to discover the keys to unlocking their greatest academic potential. A guide states the objective and engages the students in discussion that entails vital coping skills that build self-confidence and boost enthusiasm toward learning, culture and life. Guest speakers help students discover that they hold the power to shape their destiny in spite of difficulties. Students will learn that they control whether they get all A's or F's, succeed or fail, or fall victim to being bullied. During each session, students learn to successfully reprogram their habits, self-perception and beliefs and uncover the secrets to becoming a better student and a better person. Small lives in West Palm Beach.
