  Welcome to the Getting Real: Helping Teens Find Their Future online book study. We are glad to have you join the group and look forward to learning with you!

  As we work through the text, you will also have the opportunity to explore supplemental resources related to the chapters and contribute to a discussion forum. This online format is intended to be collaborative, with participants sharing ideas and constructive feedback to help everyone better understand the content presented. In addition to responding to general questions posed in the forum, feel free to initiate new conversations and share your own resources related to the topic with course colleagues.
